Power Generation & Renewable Energy

Bangladesh’s 30% Renewable Energy Push

Bangladesh has pledged a Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) of 30% renewable energy in total electricity generation by 2030, against a current baseline of less than 5%. This delta — more than 12,000 MW of renewable capacity to be developed in under five years — represents one of the largest greenfield renewable energy opportunities in South Asia. The Bangladesh government has established the Sustainable and Renewable Energy Development Authority (SREDA) and introduced generous fiscal incentives including accelerated depreciation, import duty exemptions, and feed-in tariffs for renewable projects.

Trinex’s Three-Pillar Renewable Energy Strategy

Trinex’s renewable energy strategy is built on three pillars: utility-scale solar and wind development for grid connection under government PPAs; captive renewable power solutions for industrial consumers seeking green credentials and cost reduction; and the import, distribution, and installation of renewable energy components (panels, inverters, batteries) for the broader market.

CORE OFFERINGS

RENEWABLE ENERGY SERVICE LINES

Utility-Scale Solar PV Development

End-to-end development of 5 MW to 200 MW+ ground-mounted solar PV plants — including site assessment, feasibility & bankability, EPC, grid connection, regulatory approvals (BERC licensing), commissioning, and long-term O&M.

Utility-Scale Solar PV Development

Turnkey rooftop solar solutions for factories, warehouses, shopping centres, and commercial buildings. Includes structural assessment, design, supply, installation, net metering applications, and remote monitoring. Reduces energy costs for industrial clients by 20-40%.

Floating Solar Power Plants

Deployment of floating solar panels on Bangladesh’s extensive water bodies — reservoirs, ponds, and slow-moving rivers — addressing the country’s land scarcity onstraint for solar development while reducing water evaporation.

Wind Energy Development

Development of wind energy projects along Bangladesh’s extensive coastal belt (Cox’s Bazar, Kutubdia, Chittagong division) and offshore in the Bay of Bengal. Wind resource assessment, turbine selection, foundation engineering, grid connection, and O&M services.

Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)

Design, supply, and integration of large-scale battery storage systems — enabling renewable energy dispatch flexibility, grid stabilisation, peak shaving, and behind-the-meter storage for industrial consumers.

Solar Component Distribution

Import, warehousing, and distribution of solar panels, inverters, mounting structures, batteries, cables, and balance-of-system components across Bangladesh’s installer and developer market.

CORE STRENGTHS

Power Generation Technologies

Gas-Based Power Plants

Generate electricity by burning natural gas in a gas turbine or combined cycle system. They offer high efficiency, quick startup times, and lower carbon emissions compared to coal. Ideal for peak loads.

Coal-Based Power Plants

Use coal as fuel to produce high-pressure steam, which drives steam turbines. They are reliable and widely used but have higher environmental impacts due to CO₂ and particulate emissions.

Barge-Mounted Power Plants

Floating power stations built on barges, typically using gas or diesel engines. They provide mobile, rapid-deployment electricity for coastal areas, islands, or emergency situations.

Fuel-Based Power Plants

A broad category covering any plant that converts chemical energy from fuels (e.g., diesel, heavy fuel oil, natural gas) into electricity. They are flexible and often used for backup or off-grid power.

Hydro Power Plants

Harness the kinetic energy of flowing or falling water to spin turbines. They are renewable, low-emission, and capable of large-scale, reliable baseload or peaking power.

Solar and Wind Power Plants

Renewable energy systems that capture sunlight (via photovoltaic panels or thermal mirrors) and wind (via turbines). They are clean and increasingly cost-effective but depend on weather and time of day.
