40 solar home systems to be installed in Bangladesh by 2015

40 lakh solar home systems will be set up by the Infrastructure Development Company Ltd across Bangladesh by December 2015.

 

Once completed, the combined capacity of the SHSs will be 225 megawatts, sufficient to fully serve 2 crore homes, which is about 12.5 percent of the country's 16 crore population, Islam said.

IDCOL, with financial support from the World Bank, started the programme in 2003 with the aim of providing access to electricity in the off-grid rural areas of the country.

The company previously resolved to install 25 lakh solar home systems by 2014, but that target looks to be achieved by June 2013.
