At the same time, energy production and utilisation is the single biggest contributor to global warming.

The country's current energy generation mix is dominated by fossil fuels, with a renewable energy (RE) share of only 3%, despite the Government's initial target of 10% by end of 2020. In terms of energy efficiency and affordability, transmission and distribution losses remain a critical issue, higher than the regional average, with social, economic and environmental consequences. Also, the grid infrastructure and its ancillary services need increased flexibility and control, as well as resilience, in view of integrating the planned growing share of variable and intermittent renewable energy sources. This requires targeted policies (and their implementation) to advance the integration of variable renewable energy sources focused on market design, improving electricity transmission and distribution system infrastructure."}, {"bbox": [86, 1572, 220, 1595], "category": "Footnote", "text": "¹ Art. 27 NDICI"}, {"bbox": [86, 1596, 821, 1621], "category": "Footnote", "text": "² https://www.tbsnews.net/environment/bangladesh-loses-14bn-year-air-pollution-44359"}, {"bbox": [86, 1621, 730, 1645], "category": "Footnote", "text": "³ Power System Master Plan (PSMP), 2016 and BPDB, 2019-20 annual report"}, {"bbox": [1037, 1680, 1142, 1704], "category": "Page-footer", "text": "Page 3 of 23"}]
