An Applicable Implementation Policy for “Consumer is Producer” Model [ ]


The power market of Bangladesh as well as many other countries is still locked for the common people. Selling energy to the grid is yet not so easy for them. It needs a lot of investment to enter into the power market. As a result, few of the population have the scope to sell the generated energy. The model “Consumer is Producer” offered a new model for providing reliable energy to the customer where the customer themselves will produce energy and utilize it. It has claimed that this model will unlock the power market for the common people which will in result have a higher penetration of renewable energy in a national grid. However, no policy was given to show the way how this model may be implemented. The policy of power business of existing micro grid in Sandwip is based on two entity, the supplier and the customer. The supplier is liable for generation, distribution and also controlling the grid and the customers are liable only for consumption. There is no scope for the second entity to contribute in power generation and selling it. In this paper, A policy with several types of entity in the power market has been discussed in this research work. The policy also discusses the possible way to form the grid. The analyses according to the policy also show the possibilities to incorporate in the power market for the common people.
