BPDB Invites Bids for 1,780 MW Solar Projects

The Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB) has announced a tender for installing solar power projects with a combined capacity of 1,780 MW at 19 locations across the country. The tender invites bids for projects of 70 MW and 100 MW capacities. The last date for bid submission is March 13, 2025, with the opening scheduled for the same day.

The 70 MW projects will be set up in Iswhardi (Pabna), Chakaria and Pekua (Cox’s Bazar), and Sitakunda (Chattogram). Meanwhile, the 100 MW projects will be spread across various regions, including Anwara and Mirsarai in Chattogram, Gopalganj, Ghatail (Tangail), Pirganj (Thakurgaon), and several locations in Khulna, Mymensingh, and Bagerhat.

To participate, bidders must pay a tender document fee of BDT 25,000 (approximately Rs 20,500) and provide a tender security of Rs 375,000 per MW.

This initiative comes after BPDB launched multiple tenders in 2023, including a series of 353 MW grid-connected solar projects and additional tenders for 77.6 MW of solar capacity. BPDB is also financing these large-scale renewable energy projects.

In a notable development last year, Amara Raja Infra, a subsidiary of the Amara Raja Group, in collaboration with Premier Solar Powertech, secured a 100 MW solar project from Bangladesh's Rural Power Company, underscoring the growing momentum in the country’s solar energy sector.
