Сводный обзор: 
The adoption of the Sixth Five Year Plan: Accelerating Growth and Reducing Poverty, is part of the ambition of the Government to achieve solid development targets as part of the Vision 2021 and the associated Perspective Plan 2010-2021. Indeed, notwithstanding past progress, the Government recognizes that Bangladesh is still a low income country with substantial poverty, inequality and deprivation. The implementation of Vision 2021 will be done through two medium term development plans, with the first spanning FY11-15. The fifth plan is based on a balance between providing incentives to private sector and instituting regulatory policies for safeguarding public interests. In absolute terms, public investment would amount to 22.8%, whereas the Private Sector contribution would amount to 77.2% of total Plan investment. The Sixth Plan is divided into three parts. Part-1 addresses the Strategic Directions and Policy Framework; Part-2 explores Sectoral Strategies, Programmes and Policies and Part 3 provides for a Statistical Annex and Technical Framework.

Renewable Energy
RE priorities: 
Optimizing domestic production of primary energy resources including renewable energies. ---Emphasis is also given to the development of renewable energy, particularly solar homes and biogas plants so that the emission is as small as possible without jeopardizing the access to energy.--- Development of new and renewable sources of energy and their dissemination for the end users. --- Measures for improving investment climate will include ensuring more energy supply in the rural areas with emphasis on bio-fuel and solar energy use.---To reduce dependency on fossil fuel by promoting solar/green energy.--- Reduce the supply of natural gas to those sectors where alternative energy can be used and encourage them for using alternative energy.
RE targets: 
To increase use of renewable energy by 5% of electricity demand by the Plan period.
RE action plans: 
Install solar panel in public and private buildings where applicable in view of harnessing solar energy. --- The Government is going to set up Sustainable Energy Development Authority (SEDA) to expand and develop renewable energy, to promote energy saving and energy efficiency and to create awareness among the users of electricity. --- Setting up 14 thousand solar home system by REB. Setting up a solar panel having capacity of 21.2 kilowatt for Prime Minister’s Office Installation of around 5.30 lac solar home system in rural areas with the aid of IDCOL (Infrastructure Development Company Limited) through NGOs; Power generation by setting up wind-mill run power plants in coastal region of Kutubdia and Feni; Establishing of a wind-mill run power plant of 100 MW(off-shore) capacity in Anowara of Chittagong and 4 solar power plants of 10-15 MW capacity (connected to grid). --- The use of solar panel in all large public buildings to be made mandatory within 3 years.
Tradeable REC: 
Currently Bangladesh has two Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) projects concerned with solar energy and waste management.
RE public awareness/promotional programmes: 
Building public awareness through publicity in electronic and print media and introduce this issue in the Curriculum. --- Several government organizations (REB, BPDB, LGED and IDCOL) and NGOs (Grameen Shakti) have been engaged in popularizing and prorating renewable energy projects/programs in the rural areas.
Environment
Energy environmental priorities: 
Environmental management objectives: To reduce dependency on fossil fuel by promoting solar/green energy. To improve air quality through clean fuel and vehicle. --- In the public sector efforts will continue to strengthen the Department of Environment and other ministries dealing with environment including Energy. --- The country wishes to play its part in reducing emissions now and in the future. GoB, therefore, encourages increased energy and cost efficiency in the development and utilization of conventional energy.
Pollution control action plans:

Ценообразование
Fossil fuel subsidies: 
Social objectives like reaching out to the poor and rural community could be achieved through cross-subsidization as well as explicit budget subsidies.
Energy pricing: 
The Government recognizes that electricity should be priced appropriately to both ensure that there is efficient use of electricity and the industry generates enough surpluses for reinvestment. --- A key policy reform for the Sixth Plan is to ensure proper pricing of power based on a review of good international practices. --- To raise price of gas, liquid fuel and electricity step by step compatible with international price. --- Consumer’s economic consideration is given priority over commercial interests in price setting of electricity, gas and other fuel oil. Proper pricing of primary fuel and electricity is important to conserve energy as well as to generate resources for future investments. Proper energy pricing is also critical to attract foreign and domestic private investment in the energy sector. Accordingly, setting of proper prices is a key element of the Sixth Plan energy strategy. The per unit production cost of electricity is expected to rise (50 percent-60 percent) in the upcoming 2-3 years due to the installation of high cost liquid fuel based peaking plants. Accordingly, the Energy Regulatory Commission may increase the tariff of power step by step. However, power tariff will likely come down after 2014 as the implementation of gas and coal based power plants will be completed that is expected to reduce generation costs.
Energy Supply and Infrastructure
Infrastructure development priorities: 
To reduce dependency on fossil fuel by promoting solar/green energy.---Construction of 6.15km. long Padma Multipurpose Bridge at Mawa-Janjira; Construction of about 26 km. long Dhaka Elevated Expressway. --- Priority will be given to infrastructural needs of industrialization such as electricity, gas, port facilities, road and railway transportation, telecommunications etc. --- To develop facilities to enable import of LNG. --- Under the immediate plan, Quick Rental Power Plants will be installed using liquid fuels/gas and capable to produce electricity within 4-12 months. Total 1753 MW is planned to be generated from rental and quick rental power plants out of which 410 MW has already been commissioned. Another 1343 MW power plants is expected to be commissioned by June, 2011. Under the medium term plan, initiatives have been taken to set up power plants with a total generation capacity of 7919 MW that are implementable within 3 to 5 years time of which 2450 MW will be coal based. --- Setting up 14 thousand solar home system by REB. Setting up a solar panel having capacity of 21.2 kilowatt for Prime Minister’s Office Installation of around 5.30 lac solar home system in rural areas with the aid of IDCOL (Infrastructure Development Company Limited) through NGOs; Power generation by setting up wind-mill run power plants in coastal region of Kutubdia and Feni; Establishing of a wind-mill run power plant of 100 MW(off-shore) capacity in Anowara of Chittagong and 4 solar power plants of 10-15 MW capacity (connected to grid). --- The construction of a nuclear power plant (NPP) consisting of two reactor power units with a capacity 1000 MW each (total 2000 MW) at Rooppur Nuclear Power Project (RNPP) Site. --- To make the power sector more efficient in terms of generation, transmission and distribution.---Approval for importing liquefied natural gas by private sector as an alternative to natural gas and building necessary infrastructure.

Over the longer-term, this could move up to 1000MW of power imports. Importantly, grid connectivity with India opens up possibility for power trade with Nepal and Bhutan. --- Increase of power generation to reduce demand-supply gap (...) through power imports from neighbors.
