History
In 2009, the Government of Bangladesh developed a Renewable Energy Policy which calls for renewable energy to be 10 percent of the total energy produced in Bangladesh. The government established the Sustainable and Renewable Energy Development Authority to support the Renewable Energy Policy through the Sustainable and Renewable Energy Development Authority Act in 2012. Bangladesh also joined the International Energy Agency after the agency was founded.{{cite web |title=IEA - Bangladesh |url=https://www.iea.org/policiesandmeasures/pams/bangladesh/name-158838-en.php?s=dHlwZT1yZSZzdGF0dXM9T2s,&return=PG5hdiBpZD0iYnJlYWRjcnVtYiI-PGEgaHJlZj0iLyI-SG9tZTwvYT4gJnJhcXVvOyA8YSBocmVmPSIvcG9saWNpZXNhbmRtZWFzdXJlcy8iPlBvbGljaWVzIGFuZCBNZWFzdXJlczwvYT4gJnJhcXVvOyA8YSBocmVmPSIvcG9saWNpZXNhbmRtZWFzdXJlcy9yZW5ld2FibGVlbmVyZ3kvIj5SZW5ld2FibGUgRW5lcmd5PC9hPjwvbmF2Pg,, |website=iea.org |access-date=18 July 2019}}{{cite news |title=Development of renewable energy in Bangladesh |url=https://www.thedailystar.net/development-of-renewable-energy-in-bangladesh-49670 |accessdate=18 July 2019 |work=The Daily Star |date=11 November 2014 |language=en}}{{cite news |title=Bangladesh to generate 2,000MW by 2020 |url=https://www.thedailystar.net/city/2000mw-power-2020-203458 |access-date=18 July 2019 |work=The Daily Star |date=18 January 2016 |language=en}}
