The Bangladesh government has announced a new programme to install 3,000 megawatts of rooftop solar capacity by December 2025, amid the ongoing energy crisis, according to a briefing note published by the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA).
However, it questioned whether the target is overly ambitious, noting that Bangladesh installed only 245MW of rooftop solar between June 2008 and June 2025, said a press release issued today (18 August).
Achieving 3,000MW by December this year would require the country to increase efforts more than twelvefold, according to the note.
