The Government of Bangladesh needed assistance with the preparation of a renewable energy investment plan, which would be used to apply for funding through the Climate Investment Fund’s Scaling Up Renewable Energy Program (SREP). The objectives of the Investment Plan were to bring together all prior analyses of renewable energy carried out in Bangladesh, and to carry out more in-depth resource and financing modeling to identify renewable energy projects where SREP resources and other sources of funds could be used to overcoming existing barriers preventing investment. The project involved the assessment of the potential for developing the following renewable resource options: wind power, solar PV, small hydropower, geothermal power, biomass and biogas, solar-based microgrids, solar home systems, and solar irrigation pumps. It also involved working with a diverse set of national and international stakeholders from industry, academia and government to choose renewable energy options for investment.
