The Infrastructure Development Company is set to celebrate the installation of three million solar home systems (SHSs) with a two-day fair on renewable energy in Dhaka. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina will attend the celebration at Sonargaon Hotel today (Tuesday) and also a video-conference with an SHS beneficiary living on a remote island. Idcol, a state-owned non-bank financial institution, has so far installed more than three million units of SHSs under a programme that plans to finance six million such systems by 2017. The Idcol Green Energy Expo will accommodate 50 stalls including 47 national and three international participants, Idcol said in a statement.
