Prime Minister Tarique Rahman on Monday directed the authorities concerned to install solar panels in phases at key government buildings across the country as part of the government’s efforts to address the ongoing energy crisis and accelerating the use of renewable energy.
The Prime Minister gave the directives while presiding over a meeting on solar power at his office in the Cabinet Division in Bangladesh Secretariat in the capital, said Prime Minister’s Deputy Press Secretary Hasan Shiplu.
He said the Prime Minister issued three broad directives to tackle the energy crisis and expand the use of renewable energy.
The decisions include the phased installation of solar panels at key government establishments across the country, alongside government support for the import of raw materials required for domestic solar inverter manufacture.
