Event overview
RENEX 2027 is Bangladesh's dedicated renewable energy exhibition, bringing solar, storage, wind and smart-grid suppliers together with the country's utilities, EPC contractors and industrial buyers. Held at International Convention City Bashundhara in Dhaka from 1 to 3 April 2027, it runs alongside BUILDEX, WaterEx and BPLX, giving visitors one trip across the built-environment and power value chain.
Exhibitors use it to meet project developers, government decision-makers and distributors in a market where electricity demand is rising faster than generation capacity. Expect three working days of product demonstrations, technical conversations and B2B and B2G meetings rather than a consumer fair.
TL;DR
Three days at ICCB put solar, storage, wind and grid technology in one hall, with the utilities, EPC contractors and industrial energy users who specify projects in Bangladesh. It is a practical place to compare inverters, modules, mounting and battery systems, sit in technical conversations and meet distributors before committing to a supplier.
Bangladesh is adding renewable capacity against fast-rising power demand, and RENEX brings the buyers into one venue: developers, IPPs, utilities, government agencies and commercial energy users. Exhibiting gives a manufacturer or EPC a cost-effective route to test the market, appoint local agents and meet project teams alongside the co-located BUILDEX, WaterEx and BPLX shows.

SourceImpact
RENEX is the renewable-energy wing of a multi-sector Dhaka trade platform, so its audience includes construction, water and power buyers as well as pure-play solar firms. For a supplier, that wider footfall can shorten the path to commercial and industrial projects, but it also means booth conversations are less exclusively renewable than at a specialist solar fair.
Audience quality
The audience is strongest for companies selling into Bangladesh: utility engineers, EPC contractors, industrial energy managers and government agencies are all actively invited by the organiser. Foreign visitors should expect a largely domestic buyer base with a smaller regional and Gulf contingent, and should budget time for distributor conversations rather than only end-user meetings.
Exhibitor outcomes
ROI depends on local follow-up. A stand is most defensible for module, inverter, storage and mounting brands that can appoint a Dhaka distributor or support an EPC partner after the show. Companies without a local service story should treat the first edition as market study and lead generation, not a direct order book.
Intelligence
Key market insights, trends, news and related events to help you understand the bigger picture.
Why it matters
Bangladesh is scaling solar and storage to close a widening power gap while cutting dependence on imported gas. RENEX concentrates the utilities, EPCs and industrial buyers who specify equipment, making it a practical entry point to a fast-growing South Asian renewable market.
Key trends shaping this market and its wider industry.
Rooftop solar moves from pilot to portfolio
Commercial and industrial owners are bundling rooftop PV with storage to cut diesel backup and hedge tariff increases, creating repeatable project pipelines for EPCs.
What it changes: Suppliers with packaged rooftop and storage offers can win standardised orders rather than one-off projects.
Storage becomes a grid-planning requirement
As variable solar share rises, utilities and IPPs are examining battery storage for peak shifting, frequency response and deferred network upgrades.
What it changes: Storage exhibitors can position products around grid services, not only backup.
Local assembly and financing shape competition
Import duties, local-content expectations and access to concessional finance increasingly decide which module and inverter brands win Bangladeshi tenders.
What it changes: Foreign suppliers need local partners and a financing story to compete on landed cost.
RENEX sits in a busy South Asian calendar; buyers often pair it with Pakistan, India and Gulf shows to compare suppliers and project terms.
