Ensure energy security by the Year 2021
Consideration: Review of Power System Master Plan & Power Sector
Development Strategy

Render attempts for regional energy security
Consideration: Oil, gas, coal, water, wind & solar energy as primary energy
source for energy policy

Preparation & Implementation of Short, Mid & Long term plan at the stateof-the- art level

Government’s Energy Security Vision-2021(Substantive Key Points)

Consideration: Mutual co-operation between the neighboring countries

Priority to meet energy problem
Consideration : National interest to - Adopt environment friendly policy to acquire mineral resources of the northern
Bangladesh Industrialization and man power utilization of that area

Regional Energy Perspectives(South Asia Region)Global energy scenario has been changing
No country is independent of global energy changing impact
In 2009, South Asia’s annual primary fuel based energy demand was 554 mtoe
By the year 2020, it would reach 858 mtoe (Million Tonnes Oil Equivalent)Between 2010 to 2020, additional around 589 mtoe would be needed to meetfrom other different sources like hydro, nuclear, waste energy, renewable and/or
imported energyBy the year 2020, 52% of the total cumulative primary fuel demand would befrom electricity sector
To address this additional energy demand South Asia needs collective andintegrated energy policy for SAARC
The present Bangladesh Government has already addressed this issue in its
Energy Security Vision 2021

CONCLUSSIONS
Since from the Election Manifesto, present Government has been being
keen to move forward to achieving goal to ensuring energy security for
Bangladesh by 2021
Necessary plans and programs have been taken up
Implementation processes are progressing at war footings
Regional energy strategies and action plans are being pursued by thegovernment with due priority
Petrobangla has been rendering its all out efforts as applicable for theindigenous gas and coal sector resource harnessing

National Energy Policy for Bangladesh requires policy
formulation for achieving goal to ensuring country’s
energy security by 2021
