Provenance & notes

1. The 40%-by-2041 target is the national clean energy share target from the Power System Master Plan 2016 (updated framing); the Renewable Energy Policy 2025 sets intermediate milestones of 20% by 2030 and 30% by 2040 specifically for renewable energy, distinct from the broader clean energy (nuclear + gas + RE) framing. These targets should not be conflated. 2. Chairman Muzaffar Ahmed is confirmed as current head from the SREDA officer list (sreda.gov.bd/site/view/officer_list/-) and corroborated by BSS and TBS news references in late 2025; exact appointment date is not published. 3. SREDA was constituted by the SREDA Act 2012 but became operationally functional in 2014 (established_year set to 2014). 4. Staff count and budget figures are not published in accessible primary sources; left null. 5. No dedicated SREDA-IRENA Bangladesh grid integration study for 2025-2026 was found in primary sources; the IRENA reference in the task brief likely refers to IRENA's broader Bangladesh energy profile data (irena.org/IRENADocuments/Statistical_Profiles/Asia/Bangladesh) and not a standalone bilateral study -- not included as a notable event to avoid fabrication.
