Executive summary
Bangladesh has made significant progress in economic and social development sphere,
particularly in reducing poverty and regional disparity in development. Making further in road to
our development challenges will largely depend on creating productive employment
opportunities and income for the poor, particularly in the rural Bangladesh. This would be a
daunting task unless energy security is ensured.
Being aware of the finite stock of fossil fuels and their negative impact on the environment,
countries across the world are now leaning towards renewable energies like solar energy, wind
energy, bio-energy, hydropower, geothermal and ocean energy in efforts to ensure energy
security.
Keeping the spirit of low carbon emission development, Bangladesh Government with the help
of UNDP approached to implement a technical assistance project named “Development of
Sustainable Renewable Power Generation” project which will create opportunity for power
generation from renewable energy in Bangladesh. Global Environment facilities (GEF)
approved US$ 4.07 million for the project.
Though the project document signed in November 2013, but for clearing all formalities actually
project started on January 2015. The official launching of the project with inception workshop
was held in March 5, 2015. The purpose of the inception workshop was to inform relevant stockholder
about the project goals, outcome, outputs and activities and obtained feedback from the participants on
project design to adjust the project plan (if any) and to develop cooperation with all concern stakeholders.
The participants actively participated in the technical sessions. The participants made a number of
recommendations for the project. Mainly those activities recommended to excludes from the project and
the new innovative piloting such as solar boating, solar water heating, etc were agreed to includes in the
projects. More awareness programme, capacity development issues, promotional materials and study tour
for practical exposure were recommended by the audience. Duplication of any activities should be avoided.
The changes were made based on current satiation of renewable energy development of Bangladesh.

1. BACKGROUND OF THE PROJECT
Energy plays an important role in human development. UNDP and Bangladesh Government believe that
access to energy can open/pave the way for all to enjoy the fruits of development and their fundamental
human rights. UNDP is working with Bangladesh Government of Bangladesh and its partners to foster
energy access for poor people. Sustainable renewable energy access for the poor does not only
empowerthem to enjoy their human rights, but also contributes to national development and global efforts
in reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
With the connection of low carbon emission, Bangladesh Government has decided to implement a
technical assistance project which will create opportunity for power generation from renewable energy in
Bangladesh. Government with the help of UNDP approached to have access fund from GEF for this
purpose. GEF approved US$ 4.07 million for the project.
The project is currently being implemented by Power Division which is to be accomplished by December
2018.
2. PROJECT OBJECTIVES AND OUTCOMES
The objective of the Project is to reduce the annual growth rate of GHG emissions from the fossil fuelbased power generation by exploiting Bangladesh’s renewable energy resources for electricity generation.
The basic approach of the Project will be to promote renewable energy in Bangladesh through the recently
established Sustainable and Renewable Energy Development Authority (SREDA). For Bangladesh to
achieve a greater share of renewable energy (RE) in its energy mix, the Project will support activities that
will

Increase the capacities of appropriate government agencies to generate, process, obtain and
disseminate reliable RE resource information for use by potential project developers and
investors;
Increase the affordability of photo-voltaic solar lanterns (PVSLs) for low income households by
supporting pilot PVSL diffusion activities; and
Increase the share of RE in Bangladesh’s power mix through facilitating the financing,
implementation and operation of pilot (RE) energy projects using rice husk and solar panels. The
lessons learned from the pilot plants will be utilized to scale-up the dissemination of PVSLs and
investment in on-grid RE projects and RE technologies.

OUTCOMES OF THE INCEPTION WORKSHOP
Power Division and UNDP Bangladeshjointly organized a day-long inception workshop on “Development of
Sustainable Renewable Energy Power Generation Project” on 05 March 2015 (See appendix-I for
programme). High level officials from the government, development partners along with representatives
from relevant stakeholder organizations attended in the workshop. The purpose of the inception workshop
was to inform relevant the government ministries, departments/directorates, development partners,
international and national NGOs, educational institutions, academics, and planners about the project goals,
outcome, outputs and activities and obtained feedback from the participants on project design to adjust
the project plan (if any) and to develop cooperation with all concern stakeholders.
The workshop was divided into four sessions – an inaugural; two technical and one closing session. Mr.
Nasrul Hamid, MP, State minister for Ministry of Power, Energy and Mineral Resources was the Chief Guest
and inaugurated the project inception. Mr. Monowar Islam, ndc, Secretary, Power Division and Ms. Pauline
Tamesis, Country Director, UNDP Bangladesh were the Special Guest in inaugural program. Number of
dignitaries representing especially different development partners, media and experts attended the
Inaugural Session. The technical sessions were started with the details presentation on project activities.
Then four groups were formed to have detailed discussion on four components of the project. These
groups had detailed discussions of their respective component. Finally they made their suggestion for the
activities and presented before whole audiences. And finally Member, SREDA wrap-up the
recommendations made by the groups. The participant list is attached in Appendix 2.
The detailed report of the proceeding of the event is as follows.
4. OPENING SESSION
The proceeding of the workshop was started with the opening remarks and briefing on SREDA by Mr.
Siddique Zobair, Member, SREDA. In the opening remarks, Mr. Nasrul Hamid urged the stakeholders to
innovate user-friendly and affordable technology in renewable energy sector. He also emphasized to find
out possibility of waste to energy and make some piloting for further replication. UNDP Bangladesh's
country director Pauline Tamesis was one of the key speakers of this programme. In her speech she
emphasized on sustainable energy development and to foster energy access for poor people.Mr. Monowar
Islam, Secretary, Power Division, welcomed the participants to the event on behalf of the SREPGen Project
and stated that Renewable Energy is one of much prioritized issues in Bangladesh in view of future energy
security.
Mr, Tapos Kumar Roy,Chairman (SREDA) & NPD of SPREPGen Project, stated the rationale of organizing
the workshop. He also stated that SREPGen project would transform the newly established SREDA into a
renewable energy project facilitation centre for private sector. With the connection of low carbon emission,
Bangladesh Government decided to implement a technical assistance project which will create opportunity
for power generation from renewable energy in Bangladesh. GEF is providing fund amounting US$ 4.07
million for the project

The following recommendations emerged from the workshop:
1) SREPGen project activities require further detailing to provide a sound basis for implementing of the project.
So the activities and sub activities should be revised as per feedback from participants in the workshop.
2)
More awareness program can be initiated in activities level for creating a positive and responsive attitude
among the entrepreneur about renewable energy.
3) Adequate supporting opportunities to SREDA activities eventually enhance its competence.
4) More promotional activities like video documentary, printing materials and any other form of promotional
material for RE success story, SREDA activities, project activities can be included in the project.
5) Interactive and dynamic web site development of SREDA is very much necessary. SREDA Logo design, web
site design, web content development and continuous web update of SREDA need to be included in the
project activities.
6) Bio mass based power generation should not be confined to only rice husk based study and piloting. Complete
integrated bio mass recourse mapping should be done by the project.
7) Duplication of any activities should be avoided. For this, regular meetings with stockholder and other donors
are required.
8)
Piloting of solar boating, solar cooking, solar charging station can be included in the project.
9) Study of waste to energy can be done by this project at least in 6 to 7 municipality area. Fruits of a pilot
beginning can come out of this project.
10) The observation/discussion described in activities matrix can be considered for revised activities of the project.
11) Strong evaluation and progress monitoring activities should strictly be maintained for this program. And no
compromise attitude should be practiced regarding quality issue.
12) Acute attention with right concentration should engage for the optimum usage of the project resource to
ensure the benefit of the target people.
13) For making the implementation faster, SREDA can act project implementing entity
