The government has taken a total of 19 solar power projects of total 1070 MW capacity which got the
Prime Minister's approval in principle as part of its plan to generate 10 percent electricity from
renewable energy source by 2020.

Of these, power purchase agreements (PPAs) were signed for only six projects of 532 MW, while nine
projects of 483MW await the PPA signing and four are in the process of project selection
committee.[14] Sun Solar Power Plant Ltd. installed a 5 MW Solar power plant in Sylhet[15]
