Bangladesh is a developing country with one of the lowest per capita energy consumptions in the world. Despite that fact that efficient use of energy can significantly reduce energy consumption and demand in all sectors -- domestic, industrial, commercial and institutional – there has been little effort in Bangladesh to increase efficiency in energy usage. On the other hand, the country is experiencing a huge deficit in energy sector. Experts say efficient use of energy can subsequently ease the mounting load on energy supply and its reserves across the country. This will also help protect the environment by reducing excessive emission of Greenhouse Gases from fossil fuels used as primary energy sources. Electric lighting alone presently accounts for an electrical load demand of over 900 MW, almost one-fourth of the total generation. The experts say efficient use of energy in the lighting sector can save electricity to the tune of 260 MW a year on a national basis, and in the RMG sector alone there is an immediate scope to save electricity load demand between 50-75 MW. So the issue of efficient use of energy must get priority and practical steps are needed to ensure it.
