"The benefit is that now more and more investors start believing that generation of wind-based power in Bangladesh is possible. So that means we are very delighted and encouraged. There are more proposals. In the coming years and coming months, there will be more and more wind power plants in (Bangladesh).
In the power sector, we have very strong collaboration, and cooperation with the Chinese government."

Upon operation, the project is expected to reduce coal consumption by 44,600 tons and carbon dioxide emissions by 109,200 tons, meeting the electricity demand of 100,000 households.
