BB has signed a contract with ORION to implement automation and control solutions at Bangladesh’s 100MW Moidhara solar power plant in Mongla, supporting the country’s growing energy requirements and helping the government to achieve its goals of delivering cleaner power generation projects by 2020. Collaborating with Energon Renewables (BD) Ltd, a subsidiary of ORION, one of the country’s largest Independent Power Producers (IPP), the two companies will work closely to combine their expertise and support Bangladesh in its energy transition journey. With 95% of Bangladesh’s power generation stemming from gas, diesel and coal, this 100MW plant, which is the equivalent to power produced by over 90,000 tons of coal a year, marks a step-change in generating energy from renewable sources, and will act as a blueprint to help to define a road map for a further 1,000MW worth of solar power project developments across the country.
