Two floating solar plants with a total capacity yet to be decided were to be built in Bangladesh. A 50 MW scheme backed by the Asian Development Bank would be constructed on Kaptai Lake. The government has also set up an advisory committee for the project, which will include representatives from industry, civil society and academia. The Bangladesh government wanted 10% of its electricity to come from renewable sources by 2021, and its Power System Masterplan 2016 said the country could produce more than 3.6 GW of renewable energy, mostly from solar.
