There are no service obliga-tions for distribution compa-nies to provide electricity solu-tions for displaced communi-ties in Bangladesh. Distribution companies and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) (in the absence of ser-vice area obligations) would be key institutional stakeholders for the deployment of this applica-tion.
The power sector continues to support the ongoing electrifica-tion of transport in Bangla-desh, through various initia-tives undertaken by distribu-tion companies and the roll-out of an EV charging tariff.
The EU engagement and financial commitment in support to the green transition in Bangladesh covers different aspects of the power sector. This year, the EU has designed a comprehensive financing package of EU grant support towards Bangladesh Green Energy Transition.
The current financial model for EV-BESS deploy-ment in Bangladesh relies on a service payment to EV-BESS projects. This payment model does not create bankable projects due to the lack of any long-term fixed revenue streams. However, additional commercial revenue streams may be leveraged to improve commercial viability of these projects.
