Bangladesh Announces Tenders for 353 MW Solar Projects

The Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB) has issued 12 international tenders for 353 MW of grid-connected solar power projects. The bidding process will follow a one-stage, two-envelope format, with bids due by February 3, 2025, and opening on the same day.

Each tender requires a bid document fee of BDT 25,000 and a bid security fee of BDT 250,000. The projects, funded through BPDB’s revenue budget, will be developed across various regions:

  • Sudharam, Noakhali: 10 MW

  • Kurigram: 45 MW
  • Fatikchari, Chattogram: 45 MW
  • Bhaluka, Mymensingh: 45 MW
  • In recent years, Bangladesh has actively pursued solar energy expansion:

  • In 2024, the Bay of Bengal Power Company tendered a 160 MW solar project at Maheshkhali Peninsula, Cox’s Bazar.
  • In 2023, BPDB floated tenders for over 127.6 MW of solar projects, including a 50 MW project at Rangunia, Chattogram.
  • Amara Raja Infra, alongside Premier Solar Powertech, secured a 100 MW solar project from the Rural Power Company in 2023.
  • Solar contributed 459 MW to Bangladesh’s power generation in 2022-2023. The government, with World Bank support, signed a $515 million agreement in 2022 to modernise electricity distribution, enhancing the infrastructure of 25 rural cooperatives.

    The new tenders signal Bangladesh’s ongoing commitment to clean energy and its transition to sustainable power solutions.
