Mapping Coherence in Bangladesh’s Power Sector – A Network Analysis of Policies, Laws, Plans, and Guidelines for Energy Transition

    Bangladesh aims at generating 30 per cent electricity from renewable energy by 2030 and 40 per cent by 2041. Yet, according to the BPDP, only 5.6 per cent of the country’s installed capacity currently comes from renewables. Among major challenges, the hurdle that is hampering its energy transition targets is incoherence among the power sector’s plans, guidelines, laws, and policies that collectively shape the energy governance framework in Bangladesh. This study, addressing the gap in literature, assesses coherence among 22 policy documents in the power sector in a comprehensive, well-structured, and quantitative manner for energy transition.
