Experts gathered in Dhaka today for the start of a 2-day conference co-organized by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to discuss community-based clean energy in Bangladesh, with a focus on gender equality and social inclusion (GESI).

The program will look at specific smart grid technologies and systems, such as distributed generation (mini-grids, rooftop solar photovoltaic systems, and solar water pumps), smart meters, battery storage, electric vehicles, and their applications in energy, water, and agricultural production to promote environmental sustainability and strengthen community resilience. Participants will discuss examples and case studies relevant to Bangladesh, along with implementation roadmaps, frameworks, and strategies.
