Project Phase
This solar project has two phase
Under Phase-1, 30 MW (AC) solar power plant will be completed
Under Phase-2, 170 MW (AC) solar power plant will be completed
Map last updated date: 4th July 2022
Impacts
No resettlement required except land acquisition generic cost.

Who We Are
Project Development Ltd (PDL) is a Hong Kong based company registered on 2019. PDL is
fully focusing on the development of Solar Project development. On the other hand, Greene
consortium Ltd (GCL) is a Bangladesh based company registered in 2010. The companies
formed a joint venture company named PDL-Greene Solar Power Ltd (PGSPL) in 2021 to
develop the 200 MW (AC) solar power plant in Teknaf where the highest irradiance in the
country.
The company has also made liaison for the substation to be installed by the Power Grid
Company of Bangladesh (PGCB). For the proposal submission and financial analysis, we are
taking Cox’s Bazar SS as our present evacuation point. It is envisaged that the project can be
awarded in 6-8 months after it is submitted successfully with competent Lead Member and
operating Member along with PGSPL as other member forming the consortium. If the
consortium can execute the PPA/IA within 6 month of award, the project could be achieving
the COD in 2024 on the substation which in planned to develop in the premise of the project
land.
