Bangladesh’s first state owned solar project came online yesterday as prime minister Sheikh Hasina Wazed inaugurated the 7.4 MW facility in Rangamati district, built on 23 acres near the Karnaphuli hydropower plant. The installation lowered the cost of solar power in Bangladesh – which has hovered at $0.0749-0.101/kWh – as it will supply electricity for $0.065. The prime minister used the occasion to pledge electricity would be supplied to all Bangladeshi citizens, either from the grid or from solar in off-grid areas. Chinese company ZTE Corporation built the $13.25 million Rangamati plant with financing from the Asian Development Bank (ADB). ZTE will maintain the facility for two years before handing it over to the government. Project manager Abu Bakkar Siddique said 24,000 panels were used at the project, which is expected to supply electricity to the grid for 25 years. Floating solar The establishment of an ADB-funded 50 MW floating solar project at the nearby hydropower facility is also under consideration, said ATM Abduzzaher, an engineer at the Karnaphuli project. The Bangladeshi government wants to generate 10% of its electricity from renewables next year. The new installation takes the nation’s installed solar capacity to 375.35 MW as part of a 609.29 MW renewable energy portfolio. A shortage of land that is unsuitable for agriculture remains a barrier to solar deployment, according to Dipal C Barua, president of the Bangladesh Solar and Renewable Energy Association, although rooftop solar is making strides, he added. The government provided the development land for the Rangamati plant, Barua told pv magazine, but many would-be solar developers cannot identify appropriate sites.

Bangladeshi government is going to reduce power tariffs as a result of a few solar ventures not commissioned in due time. Of the 23 solar plants ordered for construction, only four have been developed. Generation capacity of the installations range from 3 to 20 megawatts, they are located in the following districts: Teknaf, Panchagarh, Kaptai, and Jamalpur. Even the purchase agreements signed by the government for 11 plants totaling 685MW doesn’t speed up the process. In addition, 12 more projects totaling 760 megawatts have been ordered.  The officials are canceling orders for two projects of 250MW total capacity since most of the permission agreements have already or almost expired but there is still not much progress on the project development. Tariff revision  All of this has made Ministry of Power revise the tariffs accepted in purchase agreements. The new prices take into consideration the production cost reduction compared to the one at the time of original PPAs. Thus, there were agreements signed for selling price of $0.18 per kilowatt-hour, while the new deals indicate the tariff of $0.0749.  Solar and Renewable Energy Association explains the project delay by a number of challenges the local developers face. Among them the association names lack of land as well as difficulties related to transmission line establishment and fund securing. President of Bangladeshi SREA confirms the necessity to raise tariffs, at the same time noting that local solar developers should get more support from the government.
