googled that one already and they're developing coal power ten to the dozen...
Future Projects
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 06, 2020
Future projects suggest that total amount of renewable energy use will be increased, however the share of renewable energy of total consumption may not be improved. There are some big project which will increase renewable energy such as the 500 MW solar energy programme, 1 MW Grid Connected Power Plant Based on Municipal Solid Waste and 4 wind power projects.
However, the large projects are not from renewable energy sources such as the Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant, 2x660 MW Moitri Super Thermal Power Project (Rampal), Matarbari Ultra Super Critical Coal-Fired Power Project.
Some small non-renewable power projects – such as the eight under construction gas and LNG power plants – will have 1,609 MW capacity, and five projects – still under the planning phase – will have 8,750MW capacity.
Meanwhile, 10 coal power plants – with 9649 MW capacity – are under construction, and 8 with 9,620MW capacity are under the planning phase. These plants will have a higher capacity than ongoing renewable power projects.
It is clear that renewable energy is losing the race. The renewable energy source can produce in an arithmetic rate but non-renewable energy power sources can produce in geometric rates. Without adopting new sources or technology, it is a very hard path to reach the target.
In this position, considering the current progress and future projects, setting 20 percent energy share from renewable sources of total consumption seems highly ambitious
