American public-and private-sector firms' interest in Bangladesh's burgeoning energy and power sector is said to be 'growing day by day'.
US Ambassador to Bangladesh Marcia S. Bernicat said this when she called on State Minister for Power and Energy Nasrul Hamid at his office in the Bangladesh Secretariat yesterday, according to a release from the ministry, reports UNB.
She said some giant companies like Exelerate, SunEdison, and GE are interested to work in Bangladesh, noting that American firms intend to work in Bangladesh's renewable energy sector as well.
The ambassador discussed the US position on different issues in Bangladesh's power and energy sector with Nasrul Hamid.
Welcoming the US companies' interest in Bangladesh, the state minister said investment from American firms are still 'very low' compared with companies from other nations.
He sought the US envoy's help in encouraging American companies to invest in Bangladesh.
