RE: IMPEDIMENTS TO FOREIGN INVESTMENT IN ENERGY SECTOR9 Apr 2025 12:36
Once again another article explaining Bangladesh is fooked unless it sorts the import energy policy…..coal accounts for 12% at full blast in the Bangla mix,even if the coal extraction started tomorrow there is still a massive amount of gas and oil imports to balance out!!…….that is the big issue,coal cannot offset all that import……neither can hanging out the begging bowl under this cuckoo interim government to persuade others to invest in renewables……even with a democratic government in place the space to replace the imported fuel is massive!!……Bangladesh doesn’t have the land spare to go full pelt on that promise so wow what a conundrum…….
All that said the easiest policy to cran up at zero cost to the government is the coal policy…..they can take every last nugget in their own power stations so it really is just a case of when……..
