Banglalink signs MoU with FloSolar for 100 MW solar power plant

Banglalink has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with FloSolar Solutions Limited to install a 100 MW solar power plant.
The plant will power Banglalink's telecom network across the country using clean energy, demonstrating the company's commitment to renewable energy adoption and climate resilience.
Under the agreement, FloSolar and relevant partners will develop, finance, and operate the solar plant, while Banglalink will purchase the generated power through a long-term Corporate Power Purchase Agreement (CPPA).
The project aims to power more than 15,000 BTS sites, data centres, and Special Purpose Vehicles (SPV) with solar energy. Banglalink plans to convert 60 per cent of its energy consumption to renewable sources. The initiative will also reduce reliance on conventional fossil-fuel-based energy and benefit local communities.
Once operational, the solar plant is expected to cut carbon emissions by approximately 76,000 tonnes per year, transforming the telecom sector's energy model and lowering Banglalink's overall carbon footprint.
Huseyin Turker, Chief Technology and Information Officer of Banglalink, said, "At Banglalink, we are committed to building a more sustainable future through 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. With the right mix of technology, innovation and vision, we can accelerate the transition to a low-carbon, energy-secure future."
Mustafa Azim Kasem Khan, Founder and Managing Director of FloSolar Solutions Limited, said, "This partnership with Banglalink underscores FloSolar's dedication to supporting leading telecom operators in their shift towards clean, reliable and sustainable energy. Through innovative project structures and long-term corporate power purchase agreements, we aim to deliver scalable solar solutions that align with corporate social responsibility strategies while advancing Bangladesh's national climate goals."
