Bangladesh RMG factories could host 1,768 MWp of rooftop solar, CPD says

SolarNews Brief

Bangladesh's ready-made garment factories could generate 1,768 MWp from rooftop solar, according to a CPD assessment reported by The Daily Star. The estimate frames industrial rooftops as a major distributed generation opportunity for a power-intensive export sector.

The Centre for Policy Dialogue assessment points to 1,768 MWp of rooftop solar potential across RMG factories, a scale large enough to affect both factory energy costs and national clean-power deployment. For manufacturers, rooftop PV can reduce exposure to grid constraints and energy-price volatility while supporting buyer decarbonization requirements. Realizing the potential will depend on financing, net-metering execution, roof readiness and coordination between factories, lenders and power authorities.
