SRI LANKAoverview
Sri Lanka is ranked in the mid‐range of United Nations
Human Development Index, while the GDP per capita
too is in the mid‐range, at USD 3,924 (2015). The
government’ss drive to reach the upper middle income
government
level within this decade intensifies the role of energy inS i LLanka’s
Srik ’ economy. AsA a nation

National energy policy ‐ introduction
National energy policy carries the vision of Sri Lanka inachieving carbon neutrality and complete transition ofth electricity
thel t i it supplyl tot renewable
bl energy byb 2050.
2050
The policy will spell out the ways and means of making
that transition in the energy sector to power the nationand its social market economy, attaining a new level ofstability security,stability,security affordability and sustainability withthe least environmental burden to provide a fertile
ground for all public and private enterprises, homes andinstitutions to flourish in a future where energy will
never be a constraint.
