Bangladesh portable mobile power communication BESS

What is Bess & how will it impact Bangladesh?

With Bangladesh's electricity demand expected to reach 32 gigawatts (GW) by 2030, the introduction of BESS is seen as a crucial advancement for modernizing and stabilizing the national power grid. BREB, having nearly achieved universal electrification, will use this project to provide more reliable power, especially during peak demand periods.

How much storage capacity will be provided by Bess system?

The BESS system, which will be deployed in four Power Distribution Societies (PBSs)-Dhaka PBS-1, Narsingdi PBS-1, Mymensingh PBS-2, and Kishoreganj PBS-will deliver 8 MW of storage capacity in each PBS, totaling 32 MW as a pilot basis Project.

What is Bess technology & why is it important?

The BESS technology will play a key role in peak load management, frequency regulation, voltage control, and overall grid reliability, reducing power interruptions and improving customer service. The project will ensure better load management, enhanced grid security, and faster restoration times in case of power failures.

How much energy storage does Bangla-Desh need?

120GW of RE generation. If a similar ra-tio were to be considered for Bangla-desh’s short-term RE aspirations (~1GW in the next three years), the re-sulting energy storage requirements would amount to 250MW/ 500MWh of energy storage.
