- Energy efficiency must be treated as the “first fuel”, a critical lever for reducing energy waste, avoiding excess investment, and enabling a sustainable, affordable, and secure power future for Bangladesh.
September 16, 2025 at 9:37 AM
- The Energy Efficiency and Conservation Master Plan (EECMP) and Integrated Energy and Power Master Plan (IEPMP) for Bangladesh acknowledge energy efficiency, but power sector planning till date is biased towards supply-side expansion
