Bangladesh powers future with clean renewable energy.

Power, Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Iqbal Hassan Mahmood today said renewable energy has become indispensable for building a sustainable energy sector in Bangladesh.

"We believe a sustainable, affordable and accountable energy system will be the foundation of Bangladesh's future progress," he said while addressing a function organised by the Sustainable & Renewable Energy Solution Initiative at a city hotel.

The minister underscored the importance of long-term planning and transparency in the energy sector, noting that the entry of internationally reputed companies like Lesso Solar and Zero Technology is both timely and significant.

Speaking as a special guest, Jatiya Sangsad Whip M. Ruhul Quddus Talukder Dulu called for collective efforts to strengthen energy security and promote sustainable industrial growth in the country.

Lesso Solar and Zero Technology formally entered Bangladesh's renewable energy market through Greenery Energy Solutions Limited, marking a new milestone in the country's transition towards sustainable energy.

Greenery Energy Solutions Limited (GESL), a sister concern of Livenza Group, has been appointed as the exclusive distribution partner of both brands in Bangladesh and the sole national distributor of Lesso Solar.

Managing Director of GESL Sanzid Shahnoor said the company aims to bring sustainable transformation to the energy sector by combining Livenza Group's 25 years of business experience with Greenery's international expertise.

He said the company seeks not only to supply products but also to help industries and commercial establishments reduce electricity consumption through advanced technologies, making them more profitable and environmentally sustainable.

Shahnoor expressed optimism that solar and smart HVAC solutions would play a transformative role in ensuring sustainable growth in Bangladesh's garments and textile sectors.
