Ambassador and Head of Delegation of the European Union to Bangladesh Michael Miller has said energy security is a defining issue, which is why the European Union (EU) and Bangladesh are accelerating efforts to deploy renewable energy as a strategic priority.
"What we see today is our shared determination to ensure energy security and invest ability for Bangladesh," said the Ambassador while speaking at a high-level event in Dhaka titled “Boosting Renewable Energy in Bangladesh – From Design to Implementation.”
He said the Bangladesh Renewable Energy Facility is a flagship initiative of the EU’s Global Gateway, which promotes the development of secure, sustainable and trusted networks and links with our partners around the globe.
The event hosted by the European Union bank, the European Investment Bank (EIB), in partnership with the European Union Delegation and the Power Division of the Ministry of Power, Energy & Mineral Resources (MoPEMR) recently brought together senior representatives from the Government of Bangladesh, the European Union, the European Investment Bank (EIB), Team Europe, other international partners, financial institutions, regulators, and the private sector.
It was organized under the Bangladesh Renewable Energy Facility (BREF), an EU Global Gateway flagship in the energy sector that is accelerating large-scale renewable energy investments to advance Bangladesh’s energy security, climate targets and green transition, said the EU Embassy in Dhaka.
