The second quarter (Q2) of Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 (October-December 2023) was particularly significant for the power and energy sector as several policy decisions were made from national and international perspectives. Some of these are: the Conference of the Parties (COP) 28 was held on December 2023; the much-anticipated Integrated Energy and Power Master Plan (IEPMP) was approved; given the national election, different political parties have put their sectoral pledges; the Ministry of Power, Energy and Mineral Resources (MoPEMR) has been initiating proposals on domestic gas exploration and Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) import; and Bangladesh obtained foreign financial assistance or investment for renewable energy projects.
