The Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB) has launched a tender for 495MW of new solar PV capacity, to be deployed across ten projects.

Signed through a 20-year PPA with Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDP), a state-owned company, the electricity generated from the plant will be sold at a fixed price of US$0.1094/kWh.

Builder SHS Holdings warns country’s authorities could tear up PPA as plant may not be delivered in time despite deadline extension.

Memorandum of understanding signed in Abu Dhabi by both countries also foresees the installation of 800-1,000MW LNG power plant.
