Dhaka, October 7, 2025 (PR) – JERA Co., Inc. (“JERA”), Japan’s largest power generation company and a global leader in providing cutting-edge solutions to the world's energy issues, announced the opening of its new office in Dhaka, Bangladesh. This marks a key step in strengthening collaboration with stakeholders across Bangladesh’s energy sector.
As Bangladesh advances towards its Vision 2041 goal of achieving developed-country status by 2041, ensuring a resilient and robust energy system will be essential to supporting long-term economic and social development. JERA’s new office in Dhaka will enhance its ability to work closely with government authorities, industry partners, and local communities to support reliable, secure, and sustainable energy development for Bangladesh.
“Asia is central to JERA’s growth strategy, and we see opportunities across the region to support countries as they pursue the twin goals of economic growth and decarbonization,” said Izumi Kai, Managing Executive Officer, Head of Platform Business Division at JERA and CEO at JERA Asia. “Our expansion into Bangladesh reflects a long-term view of the opportunities in the country and our commitment to work side-by-side with local partners to navigate the complexity of the energy addition and transition.”
“JERA has been working closely with partners in Bangladesh for some time, and establishing a local office is an important step forward. It enables us to collaborate more effectively with policymakers and industry partners. We look forward to building strong partnerships with Bangladesh’s energy stakeholders to support the growing demand for reliable and sustainable energy,” said JERA Bangladesh CEO, Takao Onuki.
JERA entered the Bangladesh market in 2019 through a direct investment in the 718-megawatt Meghnaghat combined-cycle gas turbine project, developed by JERA Meghnaghat Power Limited, the country’s largest gas-based independent power producer. Together with local stakeholders, JERA is working to improve generation efficiency, advance decarbonization planning and contribute to LNG value chain development.
