Solar Energy Programme:

IDCOL promotes solar home systems (SHSs) under the Rural Electrification and Renewable Energy Development Project (REREDP). REREDP is being jointly financed by the IDA,Global Environment Facility (GEF),KfW,GTZ over 2002 to 2009. IDCOL’s initial target was to finance 50,000 SHSs with financial assistance from the World Bank and GEF by the end of June 2008. The target has already been achieved in September 2005, 3 years ahead of schedule and US $ 2.0 million below estimated project cost  with additional assistance from the World Bank, KfW and GTZ. IDCOL’s Solar Energy Programme is one of the fastest growing renewable energy programs in the world and is expected to change lives in remote rural areas of Bangladesh through providing access to electricity.

Biomass  Energy Programme:

Potential stakeholders for a national programme on domestic biogas in Bangladesh, divided into government, civil sector and private sector organizations. Bangladesh is endowed with an impressive number and variety of institutes, organizations and companies. Besides these described below, many more could be called upon to participate in the implementation of a national programme on domestic biogas. This organizational richness can be regarded as a very positive starting point for such a programme and makes the establishment of a separate programme office unnecessary.

Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB) installed  pilot basis 1MW at Muhuri Dam, at Feni District of  Bangladesh and tartget to reach up to  10MW power at the same place.  Moreover  1 MW New Wind Project at Kutubdia currently on going.

Total installation by BPDB = 2 MW

LGED installed 10Kwp in Wind-Solar hybrid system at St. Martins Island and another 400Wp at Kuakata LGED guest house

Grameen Shakti is experimenting with the possibility of developing systems to utilize wind energy in the coastal areas of Bangladesh. GS installed 4 hybrid power stations (combination of wind turbine and diesel generator) in four cyclone shelters of Grameen Bank. Off which 3 are 1.5 kW and one is 10 kW. Power generated from the wind turbines is connected to four cyclone shelters for lighting . Three of which are Grameen Bank and one exclusively used as cyclone shelter.

Bangladesh Rural Advancement Committe(BRAC) under Renewable Energy Programme (REP) installed total 0.3 KW wind turbine at coastal area of Bangladesh.

BPDB  implemented Stand-Alone Type (SAT)  Micro Hydro Power pilot project with  capacity of 50 kW at Barkal Upazilla Sadar under Rangamati District of the Chittagong Hill Tracts region of Bangladesh. The micro hydro project site having a natural waterfall as water sources. This is the first ever Micro Hydro Power Project (MHPP) in the country which having 50 kW capacity hydro turbine. The installation, commissioning of the MHPP turbine already completed. The MHPP has been tested satisfactorily in presence of the Chief Engineer (Generation) of BPDB.

LGED with its Sustainable Rural Energy (SRE) project  has successfully demonstrated first micro-hydro power unit at Bamerchara, Chittagong. Its installed capacity was 10kW but due to inadequate water head about 4kW power was generated. SRE has also carried out a study on prospective micro-hydro sites in the Chittagong Hill Tract reasons and eight potential sites were identified with an estimated capacity of 135kW. SRE also provided technical support to promote indigenous micro-hydro power generation unit which was developed by member of local indigenous community named Mr. Aung Thui Khoyan.
