Cabinet Greenlights Renewable Energy Plan to Power 70% of Sri Lanka by 2030

Sri Lanka has taken a major step toward a cleaner energy future with Cabinet approval of the Renewable Energy Resources Development Plan 2025–2030, a roadmap designed to supply 70 per cent of the country’s electricity from renewable sources by 2030 and support the goal of carbon neutrality by 2050.

The plan aligns with the National Policy on Renewable Energy and fulfils a legal requirement under the Sri Lanka Sustainable Energy Authority Act No. 35 of 2007, which calls for a systematic approach to developing and using renewable energy resources.

Developed by the Sri Lanka Sustainable Energy Authority (SLSEA) in consultation with key stakeholders, the strategy centres on three main pillars. These are the identification and ranking of suitable land for renewable projects, the creation of a detailed renewable energy map with a phased timeline for developing energy parks, and the introduction of floating solar power initiatives.

Submitted by the Minister of Energy, the plan’s approval is expected to fast-track and streamline the expansion of renewable energy infrastructure, strengthening Sri Lanka’s transition to sustainable power while advancing its long-term climate and energy commitments.
