Akij Group has recently set up its first rooftop solar plant at Janata Jute Mill, Dobra, Boalmari, Faridpur.
Huawei has provided technical solutions and support for this initial 470KW project with the engineering procurement construction partner, Cynergy, according to a press release.
An inauguration ceremony has been organized at the area where Sheikh Bashir Uddin, managing director of Akij Group, Jason Li, board member of Huawei Bangladesh, and Sirajul Haque, Chairman of Cynergy, along with other top officials of the respective concerns, were present.
During the inauguration ceremony, the Managing Director of Akij Group, Sheikh Bashir Uddin, underscored the necessity of promoting renewable energy.
He said: "Bangladesh should now turn its attention to renewable energy as this is where the future lies. By 2025, we should aim to generate 100% of our electricity from renewable sources. Everyone has a role to play in this regard. The project we are inaugurating today is just a start, and I strongly believe we will find more success with the advanced technology of Huawei and the coordination of Cynergy."
Jason Li, a board member of Huawei Bangladesh, said: "Huawei has been an enthusiastic contributor in realizing the dream of Digital Bangladesh. To make this digitalization process more effective, the power sector also needs to be digitalized. Huawei wants to empower the energy sector of Bangladesh by increasing efficiency with its extraordinary digital power solutions. Because we are working here to build a fully connected, intelligent Bangladesh."
Ziaul Haque, director, and Yamin Khan, director of Cynergy, said: "Huawei’s inverter solution can be a great deal for Akij Group, as well as for the other potential customers and companies. We believe it will help the customers get optimum power generation. As long as it is about a recent project with Akij Group, it is undoubtedly a great result of tri-party coordination. Cynergy is proud to facilitate the industry with the advanced solutions of Huawei."
In the initial phase, this power plant has a capacity of 470KW, and within the next four months, it will be increased to 2.4MW, whereas the total capacity of the plant will be 5MW in the later period.
Akij Group will be utilizing the produced energy for their industrial usage first, and the unused electricity will be contributed to the national grid.
Huawei has provided an inverter solution for this plant, which is a renewable solution combining power electronic and digital technology.
This solution will ensure more power generation efficiency and comes with the original manufacturer's warranty service.
This project is expected to generate around 7M kWh of renewable power per year and 3,500 tons of CO2 could be avoided, which is equal to around 5350 trees.
