Infrastructure Development Company Limited (IDCOL) recently organised a workshop on rooftop industrial solar system installation at M. Anis UdDowla Conference Hall, Police Plaza Concord, Dhaka. The workshop’s objective is to promote the rooftop solar technology among the members of Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Dhaka (MCCI), said a press release.
Cost of electricity generation from solar rooftop is cheaper than that of grid tariff. Thus, financing such kind of projects makes financial sense apart from achieving the country’s target of renewable energy-based power generation.
Bangladesh Government has expressed its vision to generate 4,200 MW of electricity from renewable energy source by 2030. Alamgir Morshed, Executive Director & CEOof IDCOL said “it is estimated that Bangladesh has a potential of generating more than 4,000 MW of electricity from rooftop solar energy. IDCOL has set a target to finance 300 MWp rooftop solar projects by 2025”.
Md. Habibur Rahman, Secretary, Power Division, Ministry of Power, Energy & Mineral Resources and Director, IDCOL graced the occasion as Chief Guest. Habibullah N. Karim, Vice President, Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Dhaka (MCCI) attended the event as the Special Guest. Sharifa Khan, Secretary, Economic Relations Division (ERD) and Chairman, IDCOL graced the occasion as Chairat the event.
