Sri Lanka's energy policies and strategies strongly focus on developing conventional and nonconventional renewable energy sources for generating power. Promoting domestic energy resources has become one of the main policy components in Sri Lanka.
Weaknesses One of the most significant drawbacks of the current Sri Lankan energy sector is high economic costs in comparison to the non-renewable energy sector, especially in the short to mid-run.
However, as of 2018, only 39 % of Sri Lanka's energy generation capacity was harnessed through renewable energy sources. The continuous increase in electrical energy demand and the drastic increase in vehicle population over the past few years have resulted in much of its annual income being spent on purchasing fossil fuels from foreign countries.
Moreover, Sri Lanka has also identified the potential for wind, bioenergy, and solar as alternative energy sources in the past two decades. However, the current contribution from these three renewable sources in comparison to hydroelectricity remains significantly low.
Country's net-zero achievement requires policy to action transitions at a state level. Sri Lanka as a country has tremendous potential for harnessing energy from renewable sources such as solar, wind, and hydro. However, as of 2018, only 39 % of Sri Lanka's energy generation capacity was harnessed through renewable energy sources.
Until the late 90 s, hydropower acted as the country's key energy generator producing nearly the entirety of Sri Lanka's energy requirement. Over the past decade, hydroelectricity has continued to generate between 3.5 to 7 TWh of energy whilst remaining one of the top three energy-generating sources in the country.
