Powering the Future of Bangladesh: Pathways to a National Solar Revolution

Dates: 03-Nov-2026, 02:30 PM – 04:30 PM

Seminar Description

The seminar will cover a practical national roadmap for achieving the renewable energy target. It will identify priority actions, institutional responsibilities, and financing requirements to attract private sector investment. Additionally, it will provide policy recommendations on fiscal incentives and net metering. Finally, it will outline a roadmap for scaling utility-scale solar that sets out priority project categories, sites, procurement approaches and grid-readiness requirements.

Leading by Example: Scaling Rooftop Solar in Public Sector

Dates: 04-Nov-2026, 10:30 AM – 12:30 PM

Seminar Description

This seminar focuses on the Government’s role as a first mover in accelerating rooftop solar deployment across public institutions in Bangladesh. With a target of 5,500 MW of rooftop solar by 2030 under the draft National Renewable Energy Development Strategy 2026–2030, government buildings offer significant potential to reduce electricity expenditure, ease grid pressure and catalyse private investment. The discussion will explore practical solutions to procurement, financing, payment security, technical readiness, grid connectivity and maintenance challenges. The seminar aims to establish an actionable roadmap with clear institutional responsibilities, realistic targets and scalable implementation models. The expected outcome of this seminar is a practical and scalable framework for public-sector solar that clarifies institutional roles and ministry-wise targets, streamlines procurement, approval and payment-security arrangements to attract private investment, and sets out a priority pipeline of government buildings with a monitoring framework to track progress.

Domestic and Industrial Rooftop Solar: Ensuring Energy Security and Creating Employment

Dates: 04-Nov-2026, 02:00 PM – 03:30 PM

Seminar Description

This seminar addresses rooftop solar, the largest segment of Bangladesh's solar growth. Due to scarce land and high population density, the National Renewable Energy Development Strategy (2026–2030) gives rooftop solar top priority, targeting 5,500 MW, more than half of all new renewable capacity planned till 2030. Factory roofs, commercial buildings, homes and small businesses together offer a large, mostly untapped resource that can be developed without taking land away from agriculture. The seminar starts with a keynote presentation on domestic and industrial rooftop solar by IDCOL, followed by the panel discussion. The expected outcome of this seminar is an action plan linking rooftop solar with industrial growth and export competitiveness, a framework for domestic rooftop models that deliver energy security and employment, and recommendations on net metering implementation, technology selection and equipment standards.

Financing the Solar Revolution: Unlocking Private Capital and Carbon Revenue

Dates: 04-Nov-2026, 03:00 PM – 04:30 PM

Seminar Description

Achieving Bangladesh's national solar target requires exponential growth in solar energy investment by attracting international private capital and improving the local financing landscape. The National Renewable Energy Development Strategy (2026–2030) targets 10,450 MW of new renewable capacity between 2026 and 2030. The Government of Bangladesh (GoB) recognizes the financing challenges facing the sector: high cost of capital, scarce long-term debt facilities, strict collateral requirements, limited lender appetite, the need for bankable contracts for large projects, limited access to finance for CMSMEs and households, FX risk for foreign investors and investor uncertainty about macroeconomic shifts. The expected outcome of this seminar is a shared understanding of the Government's current and upcoming financing measures, and clarity on the time-sensitive policy support that could stimulate solar energy financing in the coming months, including a pathway to unlock private capital and carbon revenue for the national solar target.
