The average speed of wind in Bangladesh is 2-6 metres/second, which makes us ideal candidates to generate wind power.
It has been recently reported that the cabinet committee on public purchase has approved the plan to set up the country’s largest wind power project in Anwara, Chittagong.
Given that wind power is one of the cheapest clean energy options, this is a highly welcome initiative.
With increasing economic development, Bangladesh now faces an accelerating demand for energy. The country is currently almost exclusively dependent on fossil fuel to generate power and we also import a significant amount of energy from abroad. Not only is this economically unsustainable, since it costs us a large amount of foreign exchange every year, it is also harmful for the environment.
Wind energy on the other hand provides an alternative way to generate power that is both economically and environmentally viable. We can also learn valuable lessons from other Asian countries such as China, Taiwan, Indonesia, Japan and South Korea who have invested heavily in wind power in recent years. In fact, China has more the doubled its wind power capacities in the last ten years.
The average speed of wind in Bangladesh is 2-6 metres/second, which makes us ideal candidates to generate wind energy. Moreover, experts have posited that if proper investments are made in wind power, Bangladesh can become a net energy exporter.
Successful utilisation of wind power can make a significant impact in this regard. What is now needed is a combined effort from policymakers and the private sector to prioritise investment in wind power to ensure that our energy future is secure, sustainable and clean.
