Bangladesh implements wind energy pilot project

For the first time in Bangladesh, BPDB is implementing a pilot project of 0.90 MW capacity of the Grid Connected Wind Energy in the Muhuri Dam areas.

The installation, commissioning and erection work of 4 units of the 225 kW GCWE turbines is at this moment progressing very fast. After the successful implementation of the pilot project of 0.90 MW, with 1 MW unit capacity wind turbines, this site is suitable for at least 100 MW Wind Electricity.

Bangladesh Power Development Board established a Wind Resource Assessment Station at the Moghnama Ghat under Cox's Bazar district is being started. The installation, commissioning, erection, testing etc. works of this WRAS have been completed in December 2003. Wind monitoring by this WRAS has been started in December 2003. So far wind resource data of 5 months of this site have been gathered and these data shows the clear viability of Grid Connected Wind Energy at this site.

BPDB is planning for another 0.90 MW pilot project at this site.

The pilot for this site is expected to be implemented very soon. Another WRAS installation at Kuakhata is under process to measure the wind potential at that location.
