A Green Leap: Bangladesh Ramps Up Renewable Energy Goals

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina inaugurated Bangladesh’s largest solar power project in Mymensingh, which will contribute 280 megawatts to the national grid.

The plant is seen as a significant step towards Bangladesh’s goal of sourcing 40% of its energy from renewables by 2041. Officials said the project will help reduce carbon emissions and reliance on fossil fuels.

Other South Asian nations like India, Nepal, and Bhutan — already investing in green energy — have welcomed this move as a model for sustainable regional development.
