EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Bangladesh is a developing country. It is usual to have some problems with


project implementation and get and actual intended outcomes from
government projects. At the same time it is also hard to complete projects
within certain time limitation and within proposed cost. Infrastructural
facilities are poor, administrative facilities are weak and corruption in every
sector lead to most of the projects unsuccessful. That’s why we do not see
the actual benefits of government projects. However, we have to be
optimistic. Our chosen project that we are going to analyze is a project under
Bangladesh ministry of finance and UNDP the title of the project is
“ENSURING SUTAINABLE DEVELOPEMNT BY ENERGY SECTOR “which
is under the project of MDG. We will analyze this project from different point
of views. At the same time we will try to find out some reasons behind the
failure of most of the government projects and application of different
theories in the practical world. A project can be analyzed from organizational
point of view, or from government point of view, or from public point of view,
or from consumer point of view, or from social point of view. We tried to
analyze from almost all point of views by applying theories of finance,
accounting, social science, and so on.
INTRODUCTION
The ‘Millennium Development Goals (MDGs): Needs Assessment and Costing
Report, 2009-2015’ in Bangladesh was prepared by the General Economics
Division (GED), Planning Commission with the technical support of the United
Nations Development Programme (UNDP). In this project for ensuring
environmental sustainability Energy sector is one most prominent project

Energy is an important component to enable maximum benefits to the


community acting as a key factor in development. It is one of the main
indicators for modernization of society and appears to be a vital factor in
achieving sustainable development.

Expanded energy services are essential to meet the MDGs for reducing
hunger and poverty, improving health care and educational opportunities,
and addressing gender equity. In addition, energy is central to all aspects of
sustainable development, including access to water, agricultural land
industrial productivity, health care, educational attainment, job creation and
climate change impacts.

Affordable, accessible and reliable energy supply is critical for uplifting the
poor as well as for economic growth of a country.

Use of higher quantum of per capita energy is definitely desirable. Under this
context the fuel to generate the quantum target energy is a major case to
decide upon, so that such increased energy consumption, instead of
enhancing the pollution and degradation of environment, will rather be an
environment friendly proposition.

Domestic use of solar energy may be initiated. Solar energy may be used for
generating electricity or for heating the water.

Small household type equipments need to be developed. Bottling of


condensates that comes out with the natural gas to produce LPG can be
used for cooking. In every gas field a condensate processing plant may be
established to produce LPG.
OBJECTIVE:

• The main objective is statement on power in Bangladesh identifies


energy as a primary resource for poverty reduction.
• Ecological analysis in practical situation.
• The national emphasis on rural electrification is also reflected in the
Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers (PRSP) for Bangladesh, which
identified rural electrification as a key area to foster economic growth
with a pro-poor orientation
• Rural electrification has been made a key goal and the government
has targeted 100 percent electrification of all villages in the country by
2020.

• Support to Monitoring PRS & MDGs in Bangladesh" is being


implemented by General Economics Division, Planning Commission,
supported by UNDP, which strengthens the capacity of Government
professionals to track and monitor PRS/MDG progress and estimate the
costs of achieving MDG target.

• Conducting social analysis of a project


• Conducting technical analysis of a project with necessary tools.
Increased demand for electricity from households, educational and
health care facilities, and small & micro industry will require more than
50 percent increase in annual power supply.

• Conducting Social-Cost-Benefit analysis of a project

• Ecological analysis in practical situation.


• Distinguishing the objectives and implementation process of a profit
oriented project and a not for profit project.
• Project implementation processes with modification of certain
capabilities or without modification the existing capabilities.
• The widening gap between the rich and the poor, however, could lead
to greater challenges.
• Increased demand for electricity from households, educational and
health care facilities, and small & micro industry will require more than
50 percent increase in annual power supply.
SCOPE OF THE STUDY

• This study will enlarge our knowledge about the analysis of


a project
• The ways of using our theoretical knowledge in the practical
project development, implementation, and maintenance processes.
• The term, rules, regulations we have to face in a project life cycle.
• The concept of projects in different countries through gathering
knowledge from web sites about the project analysis process.
• Increase overall knowledge of business as every project has many
things that are analyzed by business people.
• Developing the ethical and social factors those are strongly related
to project life cycle.

LIMITATION OF THE STUDY:

• We couldn’t find enough information about the whole project.


• They should be treated as indicative of possible broad trends, and could
usefully be complemented with other analyses using different methodological
approaches.
• As it is government project confidential information were not disclosed.
• Limitation of time and resources.
• Lack of experience and knowledge in working on such project.
• By its very nature, such data either over-emphasizes or under-emphasizes, such as
households practicing relevant technologies, level of adoption, and access to
infrastructure.
• Limitation of required information. Such as industry life cycle, trend,
industry information etc.
• It is important to note that some of the data were generated from guesstimates
which form a crucial limitation of this report.
• We couldn’t visit the place of the project physically; we had to depend
on the information provided by project manager.
• Financial analysis that we have conducted may vary person to person
as prediction and analysis process vary.

OVERVIEW OF THE INDUSTRY AND PROMOTER


The performance of the power sector in the last two decades fell short of expectations. The
present generation capacity is not adequate to meet the peak power demand. The present
generation capacity is not adequate to meet the peak power demand. Present peak demand is
6000 MW and available capacity is 3800-4200 MW, resulting in anticipated load shed is 800-
1200MW (BPDB 2009). About 87 percent of the power generation capacity is gas based,
5.5percent is imported oil based, 5.0 percent is coal and 2.5 percent is hydro-based. Power
generation is highly dependent on natural gas. Currently gas production is not sufficient to serve
the existing power generation requirement. Further, due to gas transmission and distribution
bottlenecks, the gas cannot be transported in some locations, resulting in inadequate power
generation. Fuel diversity is essential to meet power generation needs in the face of gas shortage
and high oil prices in the international market.

Bangladesh per capita annual fuel consumption is only 56 liters of oil, which is one of the
lowest in the world. With a predominantly agro-based population, bio-fuel is the main cooking
fuel in the rural sector. Rural Bangladesh is characterized by insignificant energy supply and the
country as a whole has the lowest usage of electricity (only 156 kilowatt hours (kWh) per capita)
in the world. Biomass (fuel wood, tree leaves, crop residues and animal residues, mainly in the
form of dried cow dung cakes or sticks) is the principal form of energy used by the people,
particularly in the rural areas. According to a survey by BIDS, a rural household uses nearly
three metric tons of biomass in a year. Of this about 1.7 metric tons is tree biomass composed of
1.2 metric tons of fuel wood and 0.5 metric tons of tree leaves. Practically all of the biomass is
used for cooking and parboiling of rice. The relationship between the amount of fire wood use
and levels of income is clearly positive and monotonic. This means that the poor have much less
access to quality fuel for cooking. Income poverty thus translates into energy poverty. While
switching to modern and better quality energy such as electricity is highly preferable, it is not
possible to do so rapidly.

Available resources:
NATURAL GAS:

Bangladesh has a good amount of reserved natural gas which has been
contributing a lot in the urban areas for cooking and heating. However, rural
people are totally neglected from its best use. Natural gas has access only
0.2 percent in the rural areas and 60 percent in the urban area in 2006. It is
expected that NG coverage will be increased to ten percent and 100 percent
in the rural and urban areas respectively by 2015.

SUSTAINABLE BIOMASS

Increase the access of sustainable Biomass as modern fuel for improved


Cooking/Heating for agro processing, micro-industry for improved Heating
Systems. About 80 percent of population is dependent on biomass fuel. It is
expected that access of SB will be increased to 30 percent by 2015.biomass (SB) has access one
percent for cooking/heating as modern fuel. It is expected that access of SB will be increased to
30 percent by 2015.

RENEWABLE ENERGY

The objective is to maximize the use of renewable energy sources to lower GHG emission and
ensuring energy security. The scope for developing renewable energy supplies (e.g., solar, wind
and sustainable biomass technologies) has not been explored well in Bangladesh.

The Annual cost of meeting MDG energy needs in Bangladesh are given
below. The annual average cost for cooking/heating is BDT 78,358.02 million
where capital cost is BDT 9,245.24 million and recurrent cost is BDT
69,112.78 million. The annual average cost for electricity end uses is BDT
47,351.37 million where capital cost is BDT 21,779.69 million and recurrent
cost is BDT 25,571.68 million. The annual average recurrent cost for Liquid
Fuel End-uses is BDT 2,570.84 million. The total cost for entire energy
interventions for the period 2009-2015 is estimated at BDT 897,961.58
million. The total capital cost of interventions BDT 217,174.51 million and
total recurrent cost is BDT 680,787.07 million with the total for 7 years.

UTILITIES OFFERING

In the urban areas grid coverage electricity is the main source of lighting and kerosene is used
mainly in the rural areas. Changes in this ratio over time and across countries reflect structural
transitions in the economy, and energy efficiency of different fuel mixes in different sectors. In
principle, the lower the ratio, the higher the energy efficiency. Over time Bangladesh has been
able to improve its energy efficiency from 123 per USD 1,000 GDP (PPP) in 1990 to 88 in 2007
(Figure 7.8). Efficiency improved about 14 percent during 1990- 2000 and ten percent during
2000-2007. Natural gas contributes more than 87 percent of the total net energy generated by
public sector (BPDB) and private sector (IPP) (BPDB, 2008) which meets 24 percent of the
country's total fuel need while hydroelectricity provides another three percent.

TARGET CUSTOMER :
About 11 percent of the fuel comes from imported coal and mineral oil population using solid
fuel. About 88 percent of commercial energy consumption is met from natural gas, the remainder
coming from oil augmented by hydropower and coal. Non-commercial energy sources, such as
wood, animal wastes and crop residues, are estimated to account for over half of the country's
energy consumption.

Currently, 30 to 50 percent of the total organic energy demand is met by fuel wood, and the
remaining from agricultural by-products and cow dung. As the heavy reliance upon bio-fuel in
the rural areas has direct influence on the physiochemical characteristics of soil and the
availability of fodder and fruit trees, there is urgent need for introducing alternative energy
technology in the rural area. The lack of alternatives has already adversely impacted the greener
concerns of environment and if allowed to continue, will lead to the rapid depletion of forest
resources. Bangladesh is also highly dependent on biomass fuels. More than 55 percent of the
total energy.

PROJECT PROPOSAL

A.PLANNING

The Report has put together the status and trends in progress of achievement of MDGs in
Bangladesh, the challenges ahead, the major interventions and targets for MDGs, as well as
the resources requirements for attaining MDGs by 2015.Energy sources of wood fuel,
agricultural waste, solar energy, animal power and wind energy are decentralized, and can be
considered renewable and environmentally friendly within demand limits. Renewable energy
technologies (RETs) create income-generating activities for male landless and marginal farmers
and for women from such households, while reducing environmental problems, like
deforestation and indoor air pollution from cooking with poor quality fuels.

B. ANALYSIS

• Market Analysis:

About 11 percent of the fuel comes from imported coal and mineral oil population using
solid fuel. About 88 percent of commercial energy consumption is met from natural gas, the
remainder coming from oil augmented by hydropower and coal. Non-commercial energy
sources, such as wood, animal wastes and crop residues, are estimated to account for over
half of the country's energy consumption.

if I am projct manajer than closely monitor the market ippotunity how we


best utilze the resources by satisfyung most of the peoples in Bangladesh.
• TECHNICAL ANALYSIS:

The energy needs of the estimated 85 percent of Bangladeshis living in the rural areas are
primarily met through biomass, straw, jute stick, animal dung and fuel wood (Figure 7.11). The
impacts of energy deprivation include drudgery for rural women and children burdened with the
task of collecting, processing and using biomass, as well as health impacts related to indoor air
pollution.

• FINANCIAL ANALYSIS : Not applicable because of government project


ECONOMIC ANALYSIS:

By implementing this project it can contribute in economy in the country. If the government start
this project, it has needed lots of investment needed for developing the infrastructure .it will
create major employment facility in the society and also it has contribute the contribute to
increase the GDP in the country. If the country overcomes the shortage of the electricity with a
very short time country will hope potential opportunity of investment in the south Asian country.
Now days R&d industry have been facing major threat of the investment shortage supply of
electricity will help to improve the current situation of this industry as well.

• ECOLOGICAL ANALYSIS:

The objective is to maximize the use of renewable energy sources to lower


GHG emission and ensuring energy security. The scope for developing
renewable energy supplies (e.g., solar, wind and sustainable biomass
technologies) has not been explored well in Bangladesh. In this project
emphasize on sustainable development with major concern with good
environmental practice by using Biogas, solar energy, wind energy etc

OCIALBENEFITS & COST:

It is highly desirable to have as much tree cover as possible for the benefit of the country.
Nationally and locally, this helps in reducing the energy deficiency while this also helps in
keeping global carbon emission at a lower level. Initiating, application and habitation of waste to
resource recovery (both biogas and fertilizer from solid waste, cow dung and night soil) is thus a
good option and feasible too. A key factor in successful scaling up of rural energy access is the
demonstration of replicable and sustainable institutional and financing mechanisms to deliver
those services. The ground reality is quite stark. Population pressures on land have been leading
to conversion of forest land and land under tree cover into other uses. At the same time this
further lowers the supply of biomass and fuel wood for cooking raising their market value
stimulating further deforestation and cutting down of trees. Smoke due to fuel wood burning also
is a major cause of a significant rise in the level of indoor air pollution affecting adversely the
health of women and children. Increased demand for furniture also adds pressure to forestland.
TRAINING FOR CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT

Capacity development through training will be necessarily important to the


government (BPDB), public and private sectors, CBOs and individuals for
energy access.

AWARENESS AND EDUCATION CAMPAIGN

Mass media include newspapers and other printed material, radio, television
and billboards, etc. Mass media has an important role in information delivery
to a large percentage of the population. A mass-media campaign to promote
important activities like, energy saving bulbs, indoor air pollution, and
increased use of sustainable biomass is necessary. Intensive afforestation
and management of denuded. sites; homesteads, roadsides, railroad sides,
etc. may assist with the increase sustainable biomass reserve to a great
extent. Among others, the interventions in the energy sector will facilitate
agricultural mechanization and agro processing, stimulate employment
generation and development generation and development of rural
enterprises, education of children, improve health, reduce deforestation and
other forms of land degradation, help to increasing carbon sinks and
mitigating climate change, boost manufacturing, and generation of youth
employment

FINANCING: Not applicable because of government project

IMPLEMENT:
The project has come out with a resources requirement of BDT 7,126.76
billion (USD 104.18 billion) to attain all the MDGs in Bangladesh during 2009-
2015. The estimated resource requirement to attain all the MDGs in
Bangladesh is a huge amount that would also require mobilization of
resources by the development partners of Bangladesh. This development
partners to come forward with the required resources as they pledged in the
Millennium Declaration. Bangladesh has already achieved a commendable
niche in attaining the MDGs. The MDGs needs assessment and costing is
a very timely exercise and will contribute in the resources requirement
estimation for the Sixth Five Year Plan.

By implementing this some difficulties will arise these are given below.

 Lack of natural resources specially GAS

 Lack of expertise set up new electric plant.

 High interest will pay by government for debt IMF ,ADB etc

REVIEW:

Existing grid has access of 96.8 percent and rest 3.2 percent from off-grid
solar PV (three percent) in the rural area. It is expected that existing grid
(grid-natural gas) coverage will be reduced to 68 percent and access of grid-
coal will be increased to 20 percent. The off-grid access will be increased to
ten percent where access of solar-pv and wind energy will be three percent
and one percent respectively. In the urban area, existing grid has access of
100 percent, however, it is expected that the existing grid access will be
reduced to 37 percent and access of grid-coal will be increased to 45 percent
and off-grid access will also be increased to 14 percent where solar-pv, wind
energy and biomass gasified will be seven percent, five percent and two
percent respectively.
FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATION

In this project we have been found some major issue these are given
below.

• Over time Bangladesh has been able to improve its energy efficiency
from 123 per USD 1,000 GDP (PPP) in 1990 to 88 in 2007.

• Efficiency improved about 14 percent during 1990- 2000 and ten


percent during 2000-2007.

• Natural gas contributes more than 87 percent of the total net energy
generated by public sector (BPDB) and private sector (IPP) (BPDB,
2008) which meets 24 percent of the country's total fuel need while
hydroelectricity provides another three percent.

For successful this project government has to predetermine of the


some aspect these are given below

• Discovering the new GAS mine for generating adequate amount of


electricity.

• Take some initiative generate water supply electricity by increasing


depth if the river.

• Encourage the people uses of solar energy.


CONCLUSION:

The vision statement on power in Bangladesh identifies energy as a primary


resource for poverty reduction. Rural electrification has been made a key
goal and the government has targeted 100 percent electrification of all
villages in the country by 2020. The national emphasis on rural electrification
is also reflected in the Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers (PRSP) for
Bangladesh, which identified rural electrification as a key area to foster
economic growth with a pro-poor orientation. Increased demand for
electricity from households, educational and health care facilities, and small
& micro industry will require more than 50 percent increase in annual power
supply. Energy sources of wood fuel, agricultural waste, solar energy, animal
power and wind energy are decentralized, and can be considered renewable
and environmentally friendly within demand limits. Renewable energy
technologies (RETs) create income-generating activities for male landless
and marginal farmers and for women from such households, while reducing
environmental problems, like deforestation and indoor air pollution from
cooking with poor quality fuels. In Bangladesh, the average solar radiation is
3.85 kWh/m2/year which is quite good for photovoltaic (PV) applications,
except the monsoon season. The sources of data for estimating resource
needs are the BPDB 2006 data and data from Petrobangla of Bangladesh Oil,
Gas and Mineral Corporation. Year 2006 data has been used as the base line
in case of discrepancies. Demographic data, number of institutions, number
of vehicles, etc have been collected from statistical year book, 2006, BBS.
Number of small and micro-industry has been collected from Ministry of
Commerce and Industry's report
