As per IEPMP 2023 supported by JICA & IEEJ
• S+3E
1. Safety: Energy must be supplied safely and stably
2. Energy Security: Maximize the use of indigenous energies and prepare energy
import infrastructure
3. Economic Efficiency: Provide modern/convenient energies at an affordable cost
4. Environment: Secure sound environmental conditions and lower the GHG(Green House Gas) emissions to a lowest possible level.

CO2 Emission Reduction
Aim of IEPMP 2023
 Energy consumption will follow past trend Increase share of Renewable Energy in generation mix
 Effort to keep energy based emissions of GHG as low as possible
 Zero emissions of energy based GHGs by 2050; and Reduce effect of climate change
In 2021, China is the largest emitter of carbon dioxide gas in the world. It accounts for 28% of theworld's emissions, the United State of America has 15%, India 7%, and Bangladesh only 0.09%.

Bangladesh pledges to reduce 22% carbon emissions by 2030

Impact of COVID-19 on these Sector
 Approximately 30% electricity demand reduced due to shut down ofeducational Institutes, Industries, Offices and all business area.
 Development works specially transmission networks were in difficulty.
 About 176,660 million taka revenue lost due to less electricity generation
instead of demand.
 About 44,110 million taka subsidize for Bulk Tariff payment from IPPs andImports.
 Overall country economic growth were less.
