BSS, Dhaka :
Bangladesh has made a remarkable success in power sector as it secured second position with accessing eight percent power from off-grid solar solutions under the current government.
According to REN 21 Global Status Report (GSR) released on Wednesday, Nepal was in the top position with 11 percent access to electricity from off-grid solar solutions, while Mongolia and Bangladesh jointly secured second position.
“Year after year, we report success after success in the renewable power sector. Indeed, renewable power has made fantastic progress. It beats all other fuels in growth and competitiveness. Many national and global organisations already cry victory,” Rana Adib, REN21’s Executive Director, said.
“But our report sends a clear warning: The progress in the power sector is only a small part of the picture. And it is eaten up as the world’s energy hunger continues to increase. If we do not change the entire energy system, we are deluding ourselves,” he said. Growth in renewable power has been impressive over the past five years. But too little is happening in heating, cooling and transport. Overall, global hunger for energy keeps increasing and eats up progress, the GSR said.
