ABSTRACT
This review examines the function of renewable energy to highlight its significance in Bangladesh’s power generation mix. The report highlights the importance of solar, hydro, wind, biomass, biogas, geothermal, and nuclear energy in the system. Graphs, charts, and maps clearly show the significant capacity and wide distribution of renewable power plants, underscoring the pressing need for additional development and integration of renewable energy in Bangladesh. The study highlights investment requirements, low-cost production, and greenhouse gas emission mitigation and discusses opportunities and obstacles to growing renewable energy. The main barriers to rural electrification include limited acreage for project implementation, financial constraints, and limits in grid infrastructure. The analysis underscores the significance of technological innovation, international cooperation, green financing, and policy reforms in propelling the sector. Lastly, it provides solutions for these challenges, such as adopting climate-resilient systems, updating infrastructure, and advancing sustainability. With 230 MW, hydropower is second after solar energy, with 459 MW. The results emphasize the necessity of a comprehensive, cooperative approach to fully utilize Bangladesh’s renewable energy potential and assist its sustainable energy transition.
