Abstract

This study uses production cost modeling to assess the impacts of higher levels of wind and solar in the Bangladesh electricity grid. It builds off the renewable energy zones (REZ) analysis for Bangladesh, and contains several key takeaways to support grid integration of renewable energy and transmission expansion in the country.
