DOT Desk: Centre for Policy Dialogue (CPD) has proposed phasing out quick rentals and inefficient power plants by December 2025. CPD Research Director Dr Khandkar Golam Moazzem put forth the proposal at a meeting titled “Challenges and Opportunities for Energy Transition in Bangladesh: A Citizen’s Manifesto” at Brac Centre in Mohakhali, Dhaka, yesterday,reports Dhaka Tribune.
At the same time, CPD proposed short-, medium- and long-term energy transitions. During the presentation of the main article on the perspective of political parties, electoral and civil society manifesto in the transition of energy, Moazzem said analyzing the manifestos of the last few elections, it is apparent that the political parties have focused on power generation and energy import. However, they had no focus on renewable energy, he noted.“In the master plan, we have seen that the prime minister said 40% of energy production will be from renewables. There are many more plans in the national policy. But if we go to renewable energy, the biggest challenge we face is human resources.
