The operation began in the newly built solar power plant "Sirajganj 68-megawatt Solar Park" on the Jamuna river bank in Sirajganj recently.
The plant in Sadar upazila went online after a test run.
"After concluding the commissioning process, we have started power generation and supply to the national grid. We will continue uninterrupted power supply from the plant," said Md Tanvir Rahman, project director.
Md Shamim Hasan, director of public relations of Bangladesh Power Development Board, said, "Before resuming commercial operation, each of all power plants needs to run a test operation. So, during the test run it supplied power in the national grid."
The "Sirajganj 68MW Solar Park," which was financed by Bangladesh and China companies, will be the 12th operational commercial solar plant in the country.
Eleven such plants now generate 536 megawatts of electricity, according to the national database of renewable energy.
