Although energy sector in Bangladesh experienced a huge growth in the last two decades, our gas sector management is still very poor. There have been little efforts to find new reserves and hardly any effective program to manage the existing fields. The present set-up, logistics, instrumentations and analytical capacities are far from satisfactory level to effectively running the production programs of the state-owned enterprises as well to check the activities related to reservoir management of the IOCs. The reserves need to be closely monitored during the production period with regular pressure testing, water inflow, sand inrush and similar standard production data parameters.

Energy sector in Bangladesh has experienced a phenomenal growth during the last two decades. While there has been large-scale development program during 1996- 2001 which paved the way to meet the demand that followed in the next few years, unfortunately there have been negligible efforts during the same period to increase gas reserves or augment the infrastructure facilities to reach gas to the doorsteps of the respective customers. The numbers as presented by Titas gas shows that there has been high growth in private power, industry, CNG, captive power, commercial and even in domestic sectors from 2003-08.

It's a new initiative of the Energy & Power to campaign for efficient use of energy, energy conservation and use of environment-friendly energy. The EP launches the Green Page marking its stepping into the 7th year.

Solar power is being used in the country for the last two decades, but remained confined only in lighting homes mainly in the rural areas. The solar system is now supplying 18 MW at present, the most of which has been supplied during the last five years time. The present government has undertaken an initiative to install solar panels on top of different government establishments, including the Prime Minister’s Office and Bangladesh Bank to light the offices.
