He said this at a seminar on electricity and energy organized at the Economic Reporters Forum (ERF) auditorium of the Economic Beat journalists on Saturday (November 30).

The adviser said the expansion of renewable energy was not sincerely desired by the previous government. The country should now go for renewable energy production. There is no alternative to move the country forward without renewable energy.

However, the biggest obstacle to the production of renewable energy is the lack of necessary space, said Fawzul Kabir Khan. He said that many lands of common people were acquired in the name of construction of economic zone, but nothing was done there. It did not create employment.


Apart from this, citing the financing crisis and lack of technical technology as problems in the production of renewable energy, he said, it is necessary to identify where the real problem of renewable energy is. The current government will acquire unused land for various sectors including railways and roads for the production of renewable energy. The government will soon make a law for this.


And the power and energy adviser said that the approvals given by the Awami League government for setting up new power plants by applying the special power law will no longer be applicable.
