POWERCHINA employees celebrate the launch of the Pabna 64MW Solar Park.
The Pabna 64MW Solar Park, developed by POWERCHINA, has commenced commercial operations after completing a 31-day testing period.
This achievement marks another significant milestone for POWERCHINA, following the success of the Sirajganj Solar Park, and underscores the company's ability to navigate and overcome complex technical challenges.
The Pabna Solar Park, situated in the northern Rajshahi district, is a key component of the second phase of Bangladesh's largest renewable energy cluster – a 500MW initiative.
The project is expected to generate approximately 110 million kWh of clean electricity annually, which equates to saving 43,000 metric tons of standard coal and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by about 110,000 tons each year.
The project team employed cutting-edge technologies designed for the site's unique conditions. These include high-pile photovoltaic foundations, overhead collection lines, multi-module intelligent centralized inverters, capacitor static var generator collaborative solutions, and comprehensive intelligent monitoring systems.
These innovations offer a replicable and scalable "China experience" for future projects in Bangladesh, thereby boosting the technological capabilities of the local renewable energy sector.
As a crucial renewable energy source for northern Bangladesh, the solar park will help alleviate local power shortages and increase the proportion of clean energy in the national energy mix. This initiative aligns with Bangladesh's strategic objective of achieving a 15 percent share of renewable energy by 2030.
