Providing uninterrupted and reliable electricity to all at an affordable price is a major undertaking for the governments of increasingly energy-hungry countries. This study assesses the energy supply-demand gap, progress, and prospects of alternative energy sources in Bangladesh. Several methods, including descriptive, trend, and comparative analyses, were carried out using time-series energy data to determine the current and historical energy status. Results show that between 1990 and 2018, the country experienced an approximate 3.05-fold increase in energy consumption from 12,743 to 38,807 ktoe, and a 3.11-fold increase in energy production from 10,760 to 33,504 ktoe. The shortfall between supply and consumption is approximately 26%, but this can be resolved by addressing energy diversification barriers related to policy, governance through regulatory actions, investment, transmission and distribution, resources optimisation, energy efficiency, conservation, research and education, and regional cooperation.

以越来越高的价格向所有人提供不间断且可靠的电力，是越来越耗能的国家的政府的一项重大任务。这项研究评估了孟加拉国的能源供需缺口，进展以及替代能源的前景。使用时间序列能源数据执行了几种方法，包括描述性，趋势分析和比较分析，以确定当前和历史能源状态。结果显示，在1990年至2018年之间，该国的能源消耗量从12,743千吨油当量增加了约3.05倍，从10,760千吨油当量到33,504千吨油当量增加了3.11倍。供需之间的缺口约为26％，但这可以通过解决与政策相关的能源多样化障碍来解决，
