State Minister for Power, Energy and Mineral Resources Nasrul Hamid on Monday said the expansion of clean energy is a must for balanced development.
“Balance distribution of modern technology for increasing the use of renewable energy is required, keeping the environment safe,” he said while speaking as the chief guest at a closing ceremony virtually.
Renewable Energy Efficiency Programme was held in collaboration with the German government’s technical support with SDREA chairman Alauddin in the chair.
The state minister said the GIZ played a vital role to raise awareness about renewable energy in society.
“It is necessary to emphasis on efficiency and conservation of clean and renewable energy with coordination of technology, economic and overall development alongside the environment,” he said.
Nasrul, however, said that the existing incentives on renewable energy will be continued.
Director-General of Power Cell Engineer Mohammad Hossain moderated the programme, which was addressed, among others, by SREDA ex-chairman Anwarul Islam Sikder, former BUET Professor Dr Nurul Islam, Bangladesh Rural Electrification Board (BREB) Additional Chief Engineer Abdur Rauf Miah, BGMEA Director Abdullah Heel Rakib, BSREA President Dilip Chandra Barua and GIZ Country Director Bangladesh Dr Angelika Fleddermann.
Among others, ERD secretary Fatima Yasmin, power secretary Habibur Rahman and German Ambassador Achim Troster were connected and delivered their speeches.
