BPDB establishes  Wind Resource Assessment Station (WRAS) at different locations which is being started. Works of those WRAS have been completed in December 2003 and 2008. Wind monitoring by this WRAS has been started in December 2003. So far wind resource data of 5 months of this site have been gathered and these data shows the clear viability of Grid Connected Wind Energy at this site. BPDB is planning for another 0.90 MW pilot project at this site. The pilot for this site is expected to be implemented very soon. Another WRAS installation at Kuakhata is under process to measure the wind potential at that location. 

Wind energy utilization in Bangladesh is in the early stage of application. Several locations have already been assessed to evaluate the wind energy potential of the coastal region of the country. Variation of wind resource has been observed among the different locations in the region. In addition, seasonal variation of wind resource prevails in the country, with a strong potential during the months of April to September, and a very weak potential during rest of the year. However, scope of utilization of wind energy resources can become effective in certain cases of exclusive applications including wind water pumping and power generation through Wind-Diesel-hybrid systems.  So far LGED has installed largest Wind-Solar Hybrid System which is 10Kwp in Saint Martins Island at Bay of Bengal. One small unit also installed at tourist resort Kuakata sea beach.

In the coastal belt of Bangladesh, the  average wind speed is high and is sufficient to generate electricity. Conventional energy resources are being depleted and biomass face a growing risk of depletion in many parts of the world . Besides ,use of fossil fuels creates  serious environmental problem . Emission of greenhouse gases through burning fossil fuels are linked with g lobal warming ,sea-level-rise and degradation of environment quality. Limited production of conventional energy and high transmission and distribution cost would not permit the expansion of electricity network for the people living in the remote and coastal areas in the foreseeable future . W

ind energy can be considered to be especially suitable for such inaccessible costal areas which can meet the electricity demands of those deprived people. Currently appropriate lack of wind speed limits large-scale programme for harvesting wind energy on commercial basis. However small wind turbine hold potential for demonstrating the technology as well as raising awareness of the people about the prospect and benefit of use of wind energy in Bangladesh.
