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.
