The Bangladesh Power Development Board has floated a tender for the installation of 12 grid-connected solar power projects across the country.
The tender announcement lists the 12 proposed projects, which range in size between 10 MW and 45 MW. The plots together have a combined capacity of 353 MW.
According to local reports, the Bangladesh government will purchase the electricity produced at a fixed rate for a period of up to 20 years.
A pre-tender meeting is scheduled for December 22. Applications can be sent by post until February 3.
Bangladesh had deployed 767 MW of solar energy at the end of 2023, up from 524 MW at the end of 2022, according to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA).
Analysts have mentioned this before high import duties as a barrier to solar energy deployment in Bangladesh. In November the government introduced one 10 years tax exemption package for renewable energy plants, effective from July 2025.
