Bangladesh's distributed energy resource sector is expanding rapidly, driven primarily by industrial rooftop solar installations, with an estimated capacity potentially reaching 1,000MW. Although government initiatives and low-cost financing support growth, rising power tariffs and high import duties continue to impede wider adoption, particularly for smaller and rural projects.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Clean Energy.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Industrial rooftop solar in Bangladesh is now a proven energy source shaking up traditional power demand and import figures. You need to align with local businesses and policy shifts to capitalise on the growing rooftop solar demand before import duties tighten further.
