4,000 MW projects fully planned by 2030, says SREDA
Despite government claims of 10,000 MW renewable energy projects in various stages of implementation, a Power Cell document indicates that only 4,000 MW worth of projects are fully planned by 2030.
According to the Sustainable and Renewable Energy Development Authority (SREDA), Bangladesh currently produces 1,374.35 MW from renewable sources, with 230 MW from hydropower and 1,080.36 MW from solar energy.
Power Cell documents, reviewed by the media, show that projects totalling 3,963.5 MW are at different implementation stages. Specifically, 943.5 MW of projects are under construction, 609 MW have received letters of intent (LOI) or notifications of award (NOA), 228 MW are in the tendering process, and 2,183 MW remain in the planning stage.
