Bangladesh is shifting focus to increase solar capacity through mid-size and utility-scale power plants as its fossil-fuel dominated grid expands, surpassing participation in the world's largest off-grid solar program. . When exploration of natural gas from some new potential gas-fields is challenging and global Green House Gas (GHG) concern is uprising, then Renewable Energy (RE) appears to be a key solution to adopt as the future energy shield for Bangladesh. Although Bangladesh has a great potential for. . In 2024, this race towards energy transition led to the installation of solar PV, enabled to capture 597 GW of solar energy. Asia-Pacific accounted for 70% of this installed capacity and China, 55% of global solar capacity. However, it has several renewable energy targets for 2030 and 2040 that require significant financial and time investments. The country's evolving solar trajectory offers lessons for other nations. . Bangladesh government has already made a master plan to utilize the abundant solar energy in different ways with a capacity development target of 600 MW by the end of 2021. 9 million solar home systems (SHSs).
