The country’s largest solar power plant of Huawei Smart photovoltaic (PV) solution, having 73 MW generation capacity, in Mymensingh has been connected to the national grid recently, a press release said on Thursday.
“The 73 MW PV power plant would help fulfill the government’s target of generating 10 percent of the country’s total electricity using renewable energy by 2021,” President of Enterprise Business Group of Huawei Technologies (Bangladesh) Limited Yang Guobing said.
He said, “Bangladesh as a rapidly digitizing nation is a very important market for us, and therefore, we are very pleased to have worked with our partners here in this 73 MW project. We look forward to contributing further in digitizing and transforming the energy sector in Bangladesh using our innovation and expertise.”
The press release said a photovoltaic system, also PV system or solar power system, is a power system designed to supply usable solar power by means of photovoltaics.
It said Bangladesh is a typical South Asian country where it enjoys up to 2,500 hours of sunshine per year but with a humid and hot climate.
The project is situated at the bank of Brahmaputra in Gauripur, Mymensingh. With the 173K solar panel and 332 inverters, this plant will contribute to the national grid, the release said.
Over the past few years, Bangladesh’s renewable energy has developed rapidly. Bangladesh government has set the target installation capacity of 3168 MW in Vision 2021. The mega project is a significant step forward in fulfilling that target, added the release.
