Bangladesh is the eighth populous country in the world with the highest population density in the world. About 65% of its energy demand have been met from traditionally available biomass fuels. In recent years, the country managed to develop its first ever National Energy Policy. The policy regime provided by the NEP paved the way for participation of private sector in energy development and management, which in turn gave stimulation for achieving higher energy efficiencies, reducing GHG emissions from energy burning and promising a sustainable energy future for the otherwise energy-deprived people of the country. This article looks into the SEW energy sustainability indicators for Bangladesh with a commentary on the provisions made in the NEP of Bangladesh.
