Excelerate Energy Adviser Peter Haas Meets Prof. Yunus

Peter Haas, the Strategic Adviser of Excelerate Energy, a leading US-based energy company, paid a courtesy call to Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus today. The meeting took place at the State Guest House Jamuna, a significant venue for diplomatic and business discussions in Bangladesh.

According to Chief Adviser’s Deputy Press Secretary Abul Kalam Azad Majumder, the two leaders discussed a range of important topics, including potential energy sector collaborations and Excelerate Energy's involvement in Bangladesh's growing energy infrastructure.

Excelerate Energy, known for its work in liquefied natural gas (LNG) and energy solutions, is keen on exploring opportunities to support Bangladesh’s energy needs, particularly in areas that align with the country’s rapid industrial growth. The discussion is believed to have centered around enhancing energy efficiency and addressing the demand for reliable energy sources to sustain the country’s expanding economy.

Professor Yunus, renowned for his pioneering work in microfinance and social business, expressed his interest in the role that innovative energy solutions can play in fostering sustainable development in Bangladesh. The conversation may have also touched upon how energy access can be improved for low-income communities, a focus that aligns with Yunus's broader vision of inclusive development.

The meeting comes at a time when Bangladesh is seeking to diversify and modernize its energy sector, especially as the country positions itself as a key player in the global energy market. The Chief Adviser and Haas’s discussion signals a potential partnership that could support Bangladesh's energy transition while addressing sustainability goals.

The meeting was attended by relevant officials from both sides, and it is expected to pave the way for further collaboration between Excelerate Energy and Bangladesh in the energy sector.

This visit by Peter Haas reflects the growing interest of international companies in contributing to Bangladesh’s development, especially in key sectors like energy, infrastructure, and technology. It also highlights the country's attractiveness as a destination for foreign investment in the rapidly evolving global energy market.
