In these areas, solar power is provided via the mini gridThe Power Division has said it has started preparing guidelines to draw power from the mini grid into the national power grid. According to the Power Division, power cannot be supplied to many areas by wire. In these areas, solar power is provided via the mini grid. This has put mini-grid investors into jeopardy since solar power costs more than power from the grid. In Sulla upzaila of Sunamganj district, a 650kW solar-powered mini grid was established; the biggest of its kind in South Asia.
