BBA partners with Omera Solar for clean energy initiative of Padma bridge service area
The Bangladesh Bridge Authority and Omera Renewable Energy Limited (Omera Solar), a part of the East Coast Group, have agreed to install a 6.03 MWp rooftop solar project at Padma Bridge service areas 1, 2, and 3.
The signing ceremony took place at Setu Bhaban, attended by senior officials from both organisations.
Omera Solar will install 6.03 MWp rooftop solar systems at the three service areas. These systems are projected to generate nearly 9,000 megawatt-hours of clean electricity annually, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 6,000 tonnes. This reduction is equivalent to planting over 250,000 trees or removing 1,200 fuel-driven cars from service.
