Future of Renewable Energy in Bangladesh as a Potential Solution to Energy Crisis

The growth in economic sector of any country is directly dependent on the energy generation of that country. Being a developing country, the demand for electricity in Bangladesh is increasing day by day with her increase in industrial growth. The current power generation system in Bangladesh is largely dependent on fossil fuel that will creates difficulties to meet the demand in near future. Moreover, this bulk power generation system also seriously affects the wildlife and the environment around the densely populated areas. This environmental and energy crisis can be reduced by appropriate utilization renewable energy such as solar power, wind, hydroelectricity, tidal energy etc. This paper deals with the possible utilization of renewable sources of energy instead of conventional sources to ensure energy security by analyzing current status and predicted future demand.
