Today, the Bangladesh Sustainable and Renewable Energy Association (BSREA) organized a press conference to present its observations and assessment on the National Budget 2026–27 and the recent SROs related to the renewable energy sector.
While the national budget and subsequent announcements created optimism around the expansion of renewable energy in Bangladesh, BSREA’s review indicates that the announced tax and duty incentives are currently being implemented within a limited framework and are not yet equally accessible across the broader renewable energy value chain.
During the press conference, BSREA highlighted that Bangladesh’s renewable energy market has been built through the collective contribution of importers, EPC companies, distributors, technology providers, investors, businesses, and millions of residential, commercial, agricultural, and industrial consumers. A policy environment that benefits only selected business models may limit wider market participation and slow the country’s renewable energy transition.
BSREA emphasized the importance of creating a level playing field by ensuring equal policy support, encouraging both CAPEX and OPEX business models, promoting rooftop and distributed renewable energy solutions, and enabling broader access to clean energy technologies across all user groups.
The Association also stressed that accelerating renewable energy adoption is directly linked to strengthening national energy security, reducing dependence on imported fuels, supporting private sector investment, generating employment, improving industrial competitiveness, and advancing Bangladesh’s climate commitments.
BSREA remains committed to working collaboratively with government authorities, industry stakeholders, and development partners to ensure that renewable energy policies create opportunities for all.
Renewable Energy for All, Not for a Few.
