MetLife Bangladesh has installed a 104-kilowatt (kW) on-grid solar panel system at its Motijheel head office, enabling the company to generate up to 10 per cent of its electricity needs from solar power.

The initiative strengthens MetLife's commitment to energy efficiency and sustainable operations. MetLife has been serving Bangladesh for over 74 years, and it continues to upgrade the workplace with modern, sustainable improvements, says a press release.

This solar installation aligns with Bangladesh's national drive toward renewable energy, where commercial rooftop solar projects can play an important role in accelerating clean power adoption.

"Sustainability is integral to how we operate and how we serve Bangladesh," said Ala Ahmad, Chief Executive Officer, MetLife Bangladesh. "By generating up to 10 per cent of our energy needs through solar power at our historic head office, we are demonstrating that progress and preservation can go hand in hand. As the number one life insurance company in Bangladesh, we believe it is our responsibility to support national priorities while creating a more resilient future for our customers, employees, and communities."

The technical implementation was executed by Business Division 4 of Sena Kalyan Sangstha, ensuring strict compliance with national grid connection standards.
