It’s now a global concern about how the rising temperature could be arrested and kept limited to below 2 degrees Celsius. The global communities have also the possible solutions at hands. Science has already showed the path to cut the greenhouse gas emissions that causes global warming. It suggested, among many other options, going for renewable energy, using it efficiently and conserving it. Many countries have also started following the path with having their respective capacities. Bangladesh is also making its effort to do so, but in a very limited scale. The country is still wondering about how it could better approach with having limited resources, technology and capacity. Experts at a recent webinar, however, suggested Bangladesh to introduce ESCO model which is already working elsewhere in the world. The model is expected to help accelerate implementation of Bangladesh’s ongoing efforts in this regard. But again, this model itself requires resources and capacities to be replicated here.
However, Bangladesh needs well-planned approaches or models that would bring both technology and resources to address the issues of greater global concern and contribute to save the planet.

Energy & Power Magazine Description:

Energy & Power (EP) is the first and only full-fledged fortnightly magazine that deals with the much cried over energy and power sector in Bangladesh. Since its inception in June 16, 2003, EP is working very hard to 
a) Develop public consciousness on sustainable and even development of energy sector; 
b) Assist the policy makers in assuming pragmatic policies for a balanced development of the energy sector; 
c) Continuous supply of information among public; and 
d) Develop a group of reporters in this field 

Bangladesh is an energy deficit country like other countries in the region and most of the people do not have adequate access to the energy and power. The country is completely dependent on fossil energy source; at the same time, it is one of the most inefficient energy using countries in the world. 
It lacks efficiency in planning, management, generation, distribution, load management and even at the end user level consumption. 
In spite of the above drawbacks, issues relating to utilization of renewable energy, exploring alternative use of energy, planned use of environment friendly energy are significantly undermined in Bangladesh. 
The biggest challenge of Bangladesh is to find a path for balanced growth of its energy sector. Despite its resource constraints, EP dynamically strives to provide theenergy sector with a flow of information and create public awareness; so that policymakers get guidelines and platforms for its sustainable development.
