Energy Efficiency & Conservation Promotion Financing Project (EECPFP)

EECPFP utilises a two-step loan (or financial intermediate lending) instrument for the purpose of policy financing. Low interest loan is channelized through Implementing Financial Institutions (IFIs) (namely Infrastructure Development Company Limited, IDCOL and Bangladesh Infrastructure Financing Fund Limited, BIFFL), for industries who are introducing energy efficient equipment, which are generally more expensive than the conventional type equipment. Lower financial cost is encouraging the investors to select energy efficient equipment as compared with conventional equipment.

Sustainable and Renewable Energy Development Authority (SREDA)’s Energy Efficiency & Conservation Master Plan up to 2030 sets a mid-term energy efficiency and conservation (EE&C) national target as to reduce the country’s energy intensity (energy consumption per production value) by 15% by FY2020/21, in comparison with FY2013/14. To achieve this goal, Japanese Government provided the Government of Bangladesh (GoB) a concessionary loan amounting 11,988 million Japanese Yen (equivalent to about USD 100 million) for a period of 40 years under Loan Agreement No. BD-P90.

To this end, the Project Implementation Unit (PIU), comprised of the SREDA’s officials in the Energy Efficiency & Conservation Wing, directs the implementation of EECPFP.
