SgurrEnergy India is looking forward to commissioning many more solar power plants in Bangladesh and other Asian countries
Leading solar engineering consultancy SgurrEnergy India (SEI) has announced that it has provided design, engineering, and project management consulting services for Bangladesh’s largest solar project, a 20 MW solar project installed in the Teknaf region of Cox’ Bazaar district.
The project has been awarded Solar Power Project of the Year – Bangladesh, at the Asian Power Awards 2018 held in Indonesia.
Joules Power Ltd. (JPL), an Independent Power Producer based in Bangladesh, selected SgurrEnergy India for the project after an exhaustive selection process.
SEI won the project after competing against various international consultants. It was selected for being the largest and only purely solar-focused consulting team in the region, with combined multidisciplinary 350 man-years of experience across all the phases of project development, execution, and completion.
SEI’s scope of work included: feasibility study, detailed design and engineering, site construction monitoring, site health and safety management with testing and commissioning support and more.
Bangladesh’s Largest Solar Project
The 20 MW solar project is the largest in Bangladesh and encompasses 97 acres of land. This project is the first and only project in Bangladesh with multiple split contract structure.
SEI has leveraged its detailed engineering expertise and helped Joules Power to promote split contract while working with local contractors.
Speaking on the accomplishment, Nuher Khan, Managing Director of Joules Power Ltd, said, “This is a huge accomplishment for Bangladesh. We are extremely gratified with our decision of having SgurrEnergy India, as our solar engineering consultants for our company’s dream project.”
“With all the competency and dedication towards the solar project execution, we were very sure that SEI will achieve the deadlines and help us in commissioning the project on time. And their excellent understanding of native experience in detailed design and overall integration of multi-contract structure was really an added advantage,” he added.
