The Bangladesh government recently signed an agreement with the International Photovoltaic Alliance (ISA) to increase the deployment of the country's photovoltaic system. The agreement is expected to be implemented in December 2026.
The government has set the goal of 40%of its total power generation share by 2041. Bangladesh also plans to install a 4GW photovoltaic system by the end of 2030 to start the development of various projects.
Bangladesh is also installing renewable energy power generation facilities such as wind power facilities, junk energy and hydropower facilities. The net measurement guide for the roof photovoltaic system has been implemented, and the Bangladesh government has also encouraged the use of photovoltaic systems in agriculture.
The statement mentioned that according to the agreement signed by the Bangladesh government and the International Photovoltaic Alliance (ISA), multiple items will begin implementation. These include 12 2KW photovoltaic irrigation systems installed for the Bangladesh Research Institute (BRRI), 12 2kW portable photovoltaic rice dumplings, 1.5kW photovoltaic drinking water factories, and two 22kW roof photovoltaic systems installed.
The International Photovoltaic Alliance (ISA) is an industry alliance consisting of 123 countries, which aims to promote the use of photovoltaic systems and the deployment of photovoltaic technology to ensure energy security and develop between participating countries in the direction of sustainable energy.
The installed capacity of renewable energy power generation facilities currently installed in Bangladesh reaches 950MW, and hopes that 40%of renewable energy power generation targets will be achieved in stages. It will also be renewed from 9GW imported from neighbors including India.
Recently, the photovoltaic EPC manufacturer Rays Power Infra announced that the 275MW grid-connected photovoltaic system was put into use in Sundarganj, Gaibandha, which is the largest photovoltaic system in Bangladesh.
