Sri Lankan government intends to\u00a0significantly increase the share of renewable energy in electricity generation by the end of the next decade.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sri Lankan Cabinet of Ministers has approved<\/span><\/a> a \u2018Battle for Solar energy\u2019 program which aims to boost the sustainable power generation in the country. <\/span><\/p>\n

The \u2018Battle for Solar energy\u2019 program aims to encourage the small consumers to install solar panels at their roof-tops and consumers will be paid for any excess energy exported to the grid. With this new program, government expects that at least 20% of the consumers produce electricity on their own. <\/span><\/p>\n

Deputy Minister of Power and Renewable Energy Ajith P. Perera said that, for excess energy exported to the national grid, electricity board is ready to pay feed-in tariff for power generated by the consumers. The scheme will be implemented in stages and first stage will cover Northern, Southern and Eastern Provinces. <\/span><\/p>\n

Sri Lanka currently generates 50% of electricity through renewables and it aims to ramp up this percentage to 60% by 2020 and 70% by 2030. To achieve this target, 600 MW of wind plants and 3000 MW of solar plants will be built within the next 10 years. <\/span><\/p>\n

Sri Lanka is currently working on a long-term plan<\/span><\/a> to increase the share of renewable energy and utilise national resources to achieve complete energy independence. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
