Bangladesh Targets 3,000–4,000MW of Additional Solar Power Before Next Summer

On 3 November, Prime Minister Tarique Rahman announced a target of adding 3,000–4,000MW of solar power to Bangladesh's grid before next summer. The government also highlighted rooftop solar and net-metering arrangements, under which surplus rooftop electricity is expected to be purchased at Tk10.50 per unit until February 2027. The target creates opportunities for solar panel manufacturers, inverter suppliers, battery-storage companies, EPC contractors and renewable-energy consultants. HPC can support equipment sourcing, project research and partnerships with developers and energy-sector stakeholders.
