Alongside additional wind and solar capacity, Bangladesh should develop an ecosystem for introducing energy storage systems to address the variability of renewable energy and utilise clean energy around the clock. Despite the current high cost, the decreasing cost trajectory indicates energy storage systems will be competitive in the future.
Concluded in May 2023, the assignment assessed available energy storage technologies, evaluated the role of energy storage in the current grid conditions, identified potential storage locations, analysed energy storage requirements under variable renewable energy (VRE) integration, and developed a roadmap for energy storage in Bangladesh.
Drawing lessons from Indonesia and Vietnam’s Just Energy Transition Partnership, Bangladesh could explore the possibility of striking deals with developed countries to arrange finance for transforming its electricity sector. Additionally, rapid implementation of renewable energy projects would posit the need for designing conducive instruments.
This is at a time when the average electricity generation cost of the Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB) was Tk8.84/kWh (US$0.084/kWh) during FY2021-22. Notably, the average electricity generation cost will likely cross double-digits in Tk during FY2022-23.
Not only does the country need a plan to mobilise such level of investments from various channels, but the government also needs to take several policy measures to send the right signals to the market about Bangladesh’s electricity transition goals.
The roadmap highlights specific use-cases for consideration in the Bangladesh power sector over three different future time horizons. It also includes a summary of indicative policy and regulation actions and interventions that may be considered to enable the deployment of energy storage within the defined time horizons.
