Power, Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Iqbal Hassan Mahmood recently stated that renewable energy is no longer optional but essential for building a sustainable and resilient power sector in Bangladesh.
Speaking at an event organized by the Sustainable & Renewable Energy Solution Initiative at a city hotel, the minister highlighted the government’s vision for a modern energy system.
“We believe a sustainable, affordable, and accountable energy system will be the foundation of Bangladesh’s future progress,” he said.
The minister stressed the importance of long-term strategic planning and greater transparency in the energy sector.
He noted that the entry of globally recognized companies such as Lesso Solar and Zero Technology comes at a critical moment for Bangladesh’s energy transition.
Their involvement, he said, signals growing international confidence in the country’s renewable energy market and its long-term potential.
