Abstract

The term “off-grid community” specifically defines certain clusters of people, and their main electrical supply line is not connected with any available national grid line for electricity needs in everyday life. Rather, these people fulfill their electricity needs from a small to medium-scale, self-sustained off-grid energy system (OGES). This choice of embracing OGES can be out of extreme necessity or voluntary. This paper primarily focuses on the feasibility of implementing off-grid energy system to support the rural communities in Bangladesh. It also focuses on the cost-benefit analysis in embracing the off-grid energy system in the longer run. A dedicated section highlights the SWOT analysis and STP analysis of installing and implementing self-sustained OGES. Finally, this paper recommends different yet appropriate types of OGES for various remote rural locations in Bangladesh for sustainable and environment-friendly electricity generation and supply.
