WEBINAR ON LEGAL CHALLENGES INVOLVING RENEWABLE ENERGY PROJECTS
Bangladesh has set an ambitious goal of generating more than 4,100 megawatts of electricity from renewable energy sources by 2030 as the county looks to cut greenhouse gas emissions significantly.
Bangladesh’s renewable energy sector is experiencing a surge, driven by both environmental concerns and the rising cost of traditional fossil fuels. Solar and wind power are leading the charge, with several notable projects and investment proposals emerging. Technical Assistance, grant, and loan for these projects is pouring in from various nations, including EU, Japan, China, and Denmark, and also from Multilateral Development Banks, Regional Development Banks, Bilateral Aid Agencies highlighting the global appeal of Bangladesh’s renewable energy sector.
While the future of Bangladesh’s solar and wind sector appears bright, navigating the legal framework presents several challenges. Securing land for large-scale renewable energy projects can be time-consuming and involve complex legal procedures, potentially leading to delays and cost overruns. Integrating intermittent renewable energy sources like solar and wind into the national grid requires careful planning and investment in grid infrastructure, posing technical, financial and legal challenges. Stringent environmental regulations, while necessary, can add another layer of complexity to project development and require careful adherence to avoid penalties. It is important that investors assess potential project sites, land acquisition feasibility, and grid integration challenges before committing to an investment.
