Banglalink, one of Bangladesh’s leading digital operators, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with FloSolar Solutions Limited to establish a 100MW solar power plant that will supply clean energy to its nationwide telecom network. The move underscores Banglalink’s commitment to renewable energy adoption and climate resilience.
Under the agreement, FloSolar and its partners will develop, finance, and operate the solar facility, while Banglalink will procure power through a long-term Corporate Power Purchase Agreement (CPPA). This initiative aims to power over 15,000 BTS sites, data centres, and Special Purchase Vehicles (SPVs) using solar energy, with a goal to convert 60% of Banglalink’s total energy consumption into renewable sources. The project will also help reduce dependency on fossil fuels and benefit local communities.
Once operational, the solar plant is expected to cut carbon emissions by approximately 76,000 tonnes annually—marking a significant shift in the telecom sector’s sustainability model.
Huseyin Turker, Chief Technology and Information Officer of Banglalink, stated, “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 deployments.”
FloSolar Founder and Managing Director Mustafa Azim Kasem Khan added, “This partnership with Banglalink underscores FloSolar’s dedication to supporting telecom operators in their shift toward clean, reliable, and sustainable energy. Through innovative project structures and long-term CPPAs, we aim to deliver scalable solar solutions aligned with corporate social responsibility and Bangladesh’s national climate goals.”
