An overwhelming number of leaders across industries unanimously agree that solar energy is the way forward to mitigate the industrial development spree of Bangladesh. And aid Bangladesh’s industries to attain much-needed energy independence. They voiced this opinion at the grand event organised by the country’s leading and fastest-growing solar power project developer and consultancy firm – (SEPC)

Humayun Kabir Salim, Chairman of the Standing Committee on Cash Incentive, Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA) said at the event, “The whole world is currently suffering from high-energy prices since the Ukraine-Russia war. We all are working to find a sustainable energy alternative. And we think that renewable energy is the best alternative at the moment. Most importantly it is cheap and it has no carbon emission like other conventional sources.”

“Local industries – especially the textile and apparel industry have made great strides in rooftop solar energy in the last two to three years. I want to give special thanks to Solar EPC for their top-notch quality and service.”

Emamul Kabir, General Manager – Commercial, Legal and Compliance in his presentation said, “Land scarcity is the main constraint for developing IPP Solar projects. However, industrial rooftops enable the door of solar project development. Solar EPC is playing an important role by implementing rooftop solar projects in numerous factories since 2019.
