IDCOL Solar Irrigation Program

Solar Irrigation Pump (SIP) program is an initiative aimed at transforming agricultural practices in Bangladesh. Implemented by the Infrastructure Development Company Limited (IDCOL), the program harnesses solar energy to power irrigation pumps, providing farmers with a sustainable and cost-effective alternative to traditional diesel-powered pumps. By utilizing clean and renewable energy, the SIP program not only reduces carbon emissions but also enhances energy efficiency in agriculture. The solar-powered pumps enable farmers to irrigate their fields more efficiently, leading to increased crop yields and improved livelihoods. This innovative solution addresses both energy and water challenges in agriculture, contributing to the country's sustainable development goals and fostering resilience in the face of climate change.
