Bangladesh has launched an incentive programme for rooftop solar systems paired with battery storage. The programme aims to ease the country’s worst power shortages in years and reduce its dependence on imported fuels. Consumers installing eligible systems by February 28, 2027, will receive BDT 10.50 ($0.086) per kWh for surplus electricity fed into the national grid, for three years. The government has capped the generation cost of rooftop solar power, including battery storage, at BDT 8 ($0.065) per unit. The incentive payment includes a 20% profit margin and an additional premium, while consumers installing systems below the benchmark cost can retain the savings. Bangladesh currently has about 1,559 MW of renewable capacity, mostly solar, and aims to reach 20% renewable generation, roughly 5,500 MW, by 2030.
