Sri Lanka’s cabinet recently approved a Renewable Energy Resources Development Plan for 2025-2030, prepared by the Sri Lanka Sustainable Energy Authority, Minister of Health and Mass Media Nalinda Jayatissa announced.

The target is to achieve 70 per cent of the country’s national electricity demand through renewable energy sources by 2030, and carbon neutrality by 2050.

This report provides the prioritisation of large-scale renewable energy development projects, and the planned projects for the upcoming periods, based on resource maps of the particular energy sources.

Potential sites of different types of renewable energy resources have been identified, and taken for prioritisation for future development based on resource potential, land use, distance to roads, slope, distance to grid substations (GSS), urban centres and exclusionary conservation areas.

Resource potential was rated as the most important criterion. Access to GSS was not considered as a criterion for wind and solar plants above 100 MW.
