To help Bangladesh meet its clean energy target of 40% by 2041, The UK Government’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) is seeking eligible organisation/s to design and deliver a programme of Technical Assistance to the Sustainable and Renewable Energy Development Authority (SREDA) and the Power Division of Ministry of Power, Energy and Mineral Resources (MoPEMR) in Bangladesh. This programme is aimed at strengthening SREDA’s/MoPEMR’s ability to perform their roles and provide support in the following areas: 1. Establishment of a ‘Data Assessment and Storage Facility’ in SREDA to support collection, storage, analysis and use of wind data and related information. 2. Development of policy and technical guidelines for the offshore wind sector in Bangladesh. 3. Capacity development on carbon pricing and trading for SREDA and Power Division officials. 4. Support Government of Bangladesh’s (GoB) agenda on transforming all irrigation pumps to solar irrigation pumps through a review of the existing models to propose a commercially viable model with some unified features to pilot in different geographical locations. This Technical Assistance (TA) is in line with the ambitions and commitments of Bangladesh’s draft Integrated Power Sector Master Plan 2023. This will also contribute to the Mujib Climate Prosperity Plan, the Nationally Determined Contribution targets on renewable energy, the Bangladesh Delta Plan 2100 (BDP 2100), the Perspective Plan 2021 to 2041 (PP 2041), and 8th Five Year Plan 2020 to 2025 (8FYP). The TA is part of FCDO’s Bangladesh Climate and Environment Programme (BCEP). BCEP was announced at COP26 and went live in January 2022. This programme will help deliver a more climate resilient, less carbon intensive and cleaner Bangladesh. BCEP has a particular focus on supporting policy and regulatory frameworks on renewable energy and expansion of renewable energy options. It was designed to support technologies and infrastructure that can be expanded and integrated to the national grid; and explore to what extent new renewable resources can be scaled commercially. This TA is in line with BCEP’s ambition to enhance the policy and regulatory environment to increase share of renewable energy in the country’s energy mix.
