Dear Sir,

 

We are contacting you from Radiant Corporation, Bangladesh. We have come across your prestigious institution while looking for a Canadian partner in Solar Power Projects in Bangladesh. It may be mentioned that Radiant Corporation has been successfully working in the energy sector in Bangladesh for the past two decades with its international partners. Besides the Energy sector we are profoundly involved in the Defense market – from minor spare parts projects to Aircrafts and War Ship projects with complete command and control systems.

 

Bangladesh has been going through a major power crisis for the last 5 years while the demand has been increasing rapidly. Present industries are growing and Textile industry goes through massive expansions every year. The major sources of power generation in Bangladesh are natural gas. Although the country possesses a huge stock of coal, natural gas may not be available after 2013 for power generation without further exploration and coal based power plant are under considerations. Therefore our options for power generation are Coal and Renewable Energies.

 

We have noticed that Canadian government has taken major initiatives to close down coal generated plants and move towards environment friendly solutions – mainly Solar and Wind. Bangladesh Government is moving towards the same direction. Bangladesh has a power deficit of at least 5000 MW and it is not possible to overcome the shortage completely with solar plants at this level. However, government is taking necessary action now and has agreed to provide subsidy and support for Solar Power.

 

At present in the Solar Sector, there are 3 options:

 

1. To promote Solar Power Projects/Plant to the Government and private sectors as on Turn Key basis.

2. Assembling/Manufacturing Solar Plant in Bangladesh.

3. Propose solar plant to Government under PPP basis.

 

We are fully ready to support you in any of the three cases. For the second and third options, we shall consider necessary investment.

 

On a different note, I personally would be a proud Canadian-Bangladesh if I could bring environment friendly Renewable Energy to Bangladesh using Canadian Technology. We are therefore inviting you to work in the solar sector with Radiant Corporation.

 

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or comments.

 

Radiant Corporation will be eagerly waiting for your valued reply.

 

Thank you very much for your time.

 

Best Regards,
