Are you looking to cut energy costs, improve efficiency, and stay compliant with BERC regulations? A co-generation assessment could be your first—and most important—step.
At Greenbud, we help businesses in Bangladesh meet the Bangladesh Energy Regulatory Commission (BERC) requirements through expert-led co-generation assessments designed to enhance energy efficiency and unlock long-term savings.
What Is a Co-Generation Assessment?
A co-generation assessment (also known as Combined Heat and Power or CHP assessment) evaluates your facility’s ability to simultaneously generate electricity and useful thermal energy from a single fuel source—typically natural gas, biomass, or industrial waste heat.
This method is significantly more efficient than using separate systems for heat and power, achieving efficiency levels of up to 80%, compared to conventional systems that average 45-50%.
A comprehensive co-generation assessment includes:
- Review of current energy consumption and system performance
- Technical feasibility and cost-benefit analysis of CHP systems
- Environmental impact evaluation
- Recommendations aligned with BERC energy efficiency requirements
Understanding BERC Requirements for Co-Generation
The Bangladesh Energy Regulatory Commission (BERC) has introduced specific guidelines to encourage efficient energy usage and reduce the carbon footprint of industries across the country. For many sectors, a certified co-generation assessment is now mandatory to meet licensing, regulatory, or incentive-related criteria.
BERC’s co-generation requirements typically include:
- Conducting a third-party technical assessment of your energy system
- Verifying potential for co-generation implementation
- Submitting a detailed report to BERC outlining energy savings, emissions reduction, and ROI
- Ensuring alignment with national energy conservation goals
Failure to meet these requirements can result in delays in project approvals, loss of incentives, or even regulatory penalties.
Why Should Businesses Consider Co-Generation?
Investing in co-generation technology isn’t just about compliance—it’s about building a smarter, more sustainable operation. Whether you’re in manufacturing, textiles, food processing, or another energy-intensive industry, the benefits are real and measurable.
Benefits of co-generation:
- ✅ Lower energy costs through increased efficiency
- ✅ Reduced carbon footprint and environmental impact
- ✅ Improved reliability with on-site power generation
- ✅ Eligibility for green financing, such as the Green Transformation Fund or IDF
- ✅ Enhanced compliance with BERC and other energy-related standards
