Solar power changes 20m lives

Arun Karmakar | Update: 09:25, Nov 06, 2014
[font size=3]Solar power has lit up the lives of deprived people in remote rural regions of the country. So far around 3.5 million houses have come under the solar home system. Nearly 150mw of electricity is being generated. It has brought about significant changes to 20 million lives.
Every month solar panels are being set up in about 65 thousand houses. The donor community and international agencies recognise this as the fastest and most successful solar power programme in the world. The latest target is to cover 6million houses by 2017.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina yesterday inaugurated a programme to celebrate the successful installment of 3million solar home systems. But since then the total has gone up to 3.5million, according to the Infrastructure Development Company Limited (IDCOL).
...
The solar home system installment officially began in 2003. The target then was to install solar power in 50 thousand houses in five years. But this target was achieved in a matter of three years due the enthusiasm of the rural people in using solar power.

[font face=Serif][font size=5]Bangladesh Solar Program To Reach 13 Million More People[/font]
November 6, 2014 | Energy Matters
[font size=3]Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has announced a plan to provide 3 million more rural families in the nation with small solar power systems over the next three years.
The initiative will build on the success of the DCOL SHS Program that has already seen three million small solar home systems installed.
38 percent of people in Bangladesh still have no access to electricity; often relying on expensive and polluting fossil fuels for light.
Prime Minister Hasina’s government has set a goal of 24,000 megawatts of electricity generation capacity by 2021, with 10 percent from solar power. The country’s ‘Power System Master Plan 2010′ has set a goal of 15% total electricity generation coming from renewables by 2020.
