ACI renewable energy: Driving Bangladesh's clean energy transition

Highlight: Our partnerships with GoodWe, AIKO and EcoFlow allow us to offer customers a complete ecosystem of renewable energy solutions rather than isolated products. Each brand addresses a different need while being a global leader in its respective field.

Bangladesh's renewable energy market represents one of the country's most promising growth sectors, and our decision to enter this space was guided by a clear long-term vision. At ACI, we have always invested in sectors that have the potential to improve people's quality of life, and renewable energy is a natural extension of that philosophy.

Three key strategic considerations shaped our entry into the market. First, Bangladesh's steadily rising energy demand, coupled with the government's forward-looking renewable energy policies such as net metering, has created significant opportunities for private sector participation. Second, by partnering with globally recognised brands like GoodWe, AIKO and EcoFlow, we are bringing world-class technology within reach of Bangladeshi consumers. Third, ACI's extensive nationwide distribution network and the trust we have built over decades allow us to deliver reliable solar solutions not only in major cities but also in remote parts of the country.

Looking ahead, we see renewable energy becoming one of ACI's primary growth drivers. Our ambition is to lead in rooftop solar, agricultural energy solutions and energy storage while playing a meaningful role in Bangladesh's transition to clean energy.

Our partnerships with GoodWe, AIKO and EcoFlow allow us to offer customers a complete ecosystem of renewable energy solutions rather than isolated products. Each brand addresses a different need while being a global leader in its respective field.

AIKO is renowned for manufacturing some of the world's most efficient solar panels, making it an ideal choice for customers seeking maximum electricity generation from residential or commercial rooftop installations. GoodWe is a Tier 1 inverter manufacturer whose technology ensures the reliability and long-term performance of solar systems. EcoFlow, meanwhile, is a global leader in portable power stations and home backup energy solutions, providing dependable electricity during power outages and emergencies.

The value we deliver goes far beyond supplying equipment. Customers receive expert consultation, professional system design, installation, and nationwide after-sales support through ACI's service network. Our objective is to make solar energy both accessible and dependable for every customer in Bangladesh.

Demand for solar energy is growing across residential, commercial and industrial sectors, although the industrial segment—particularly rooftop solar—is currently expanding the fastest.

Several factors are driving this momentum. Electricity represents a significant operating cost for manufacturers, and rooftop solar provides an effective way to reduce those expenses. At the same time, international buyers, especially those sourcing from Bangladesh's export-oriented industries such as garments and textiles, increasingly prioritise suppliers that use clean energy. As sustainability becomes a competitive requirement rather than a choice, rooftop solar has evolved into a strategic investment for businesses seeking to maintain global competitiveness.

Government policies have further strengthened the business case. The net metering framework has made investment in rooftop solar increasingly attractive by allowing consumers to feed surplus electricity back into the grid, improving overall project economics.

The residential market is also witnessing strong growth. Rising electricity prices, frequent power disruptions and increasing awareness of long-term savings are encouraging more homeowners to consider solar energy as a practical investment. What was once viewed as an expensive alternative is now being recognised as a reliable and cost-effective energy solution.

We believe this trend will continue over the coming years, with solar power gradually becoming a mainstream source of electricity across every segment of the economy. ACI Renewable Energy is preparing to lead that transformation by combining globally proven technologies with local expertise, strong customer support and a long-term commitment to quality.

Our broader vision extends beyond simply supplying renewable energy products. We want to build lasting relationships with customers by offering solutions they can trust for decades. Solar is a long-term investment, and customers need confidence that their systems will continue delivering value throughout their lifespan. That confidence comes from quality products, professional engineering, reliable installation and responsive after-sales service.

As Bangladesh accelerates its clean energy transition, we believe the private sector has a vital role to play alongside supportive government policies. By introducing advanced technologies, maintaining international quality standards and expanding access to renewable energy across both urban and rural communities, we hope to contribute meaningfully to the country's sustainable development journey.

Our goal is straightforward: to make clean, reliable and affordable energy available to more people across Bangladesh while establishing ACI Renewable Energy as one of the country's most trusted partners in its renewable energy future.
