Staff Reporter : Country’s leading innovative digital operator Banglalink has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with FloSolar Solutions Limited recently to install a 100 MW solar power plant.
The plant will power Banglalink’s telecom network across the country using clean energy, highlighting Banglalink’s commitment to renewable energy adoption and building climate resilience.
As per this agreement, FloSolar and relevant partners will develop, finance, and operate the solar plant, while Banglalink will purchase the generated power through a long-term Corporate Power Purchase Agreement (CPPA).
With this partnership,
Banglalink aims to power more than 15,000 BTS sites, data centers, and Special Purchase Vehicles (SPV) with solar energy. The company plans to convert 60 percent of its energy consumption into renewable energy. The project will also reduce dependency on conventional fossil-fuel-based energy and support local communities.
Once operational, the solar plant is expected to reduce carbon emissions by approximately 76,000 tons every year, which will transform the telecom sector’s energy model by lowering Banglalink’s overall carbon footprint.
Huseyin Turker, Chief Technology and Information Officer, Banglalink, said, “At Banglalink, we are committed to building a more sustainable future by using renewable energy.
This solar power project with FloSolar will create a stronger renewable energy ecosystem in Bangladesh and set a benchmark for future large-scale renewable deployments. I firmly believe, with the right mix of technology, innovation, and vision, we can move faster towards a low-carbon and energy-secure future.”
Mustafa Azim Kasem Khan, Founder and Managing Director, FloSolar Solutions Limited, said, “This partnership with Banglalink underscores FloSolar’s dedication to supporting leading telecom operators in their shift toward clean, reliable and sustainable energy. Through innovation project structures and long-term corporate power purchase agreements, we aim to deliver scalable solar solutions that align with corporate social responsibility strategy while advancing Bangladesh’s national climate goals”
