September is a reported target. Installed and grid-connected capacity should be updated only after commissioning records are available.

BPDB said systems at 19 locations were progressing under the Power Sector Development Fund, with connection to the national grid targeted by September 2026.

The programme

BPDB described the installations as part of an effort to diversify the power mix and increase renewable generation.

What grid connection requires

A rooftop system must satisfy interconnection, protection, metering, safety and commissioning requirements before its output can be treated as grid connected.

The wider pipeline

The report also described additional utility-scale solar plans and power-purchase agreements. Each project should be tracked separately by contract, status, location and verified capacity.

What to watch

VOLTLENS will look for commissioning records, actual export data, site-by-site performance and the treatment of operation and maintenance costs.
