ECONOMYNEXT – Sri Lanka’s renewable power, helped by state-run Ceylon Electricity Board, hydro power and new private renewable power including rooftop solar topped 64.4 percent in May 2025, sharply up from 48.3 percent a year ago, official data showed.
Out of a total of 1,531 GigaWatt hours of energy generated in May 2025, 986 GWh came from renewables, data published by the central bank showed.
CEB’s hydro generation rose to 575 GWh up 44.7 percent from a year earlier, helped by good rainfall while fuel oil generation dropped from 208 to 35 GWh.
Private non-conventional renewable energy grew to 367 GWh in May 2025 from 258 GWh last year.
Total renewable energy grew by 43 percent to 986 GWh in May.
In April where rains also improved, renewable energy was 809 GWh, or a share of 57 percent, up from 41 percent from last year.
Sri Lanka has seen strong growth in rooftop solar, ahead of its generation plan, as in some other countries. As a result, the utility is scrambling to accommodate more renewable power and maintain grid stability for which initial investments are required.
Sri Lanka has a target of reaching 70 percent renewable power by 2030 with demand also expected to grow if macroeconomists maintain monetary stability and do not trigger currency crises with rate cuts, as had happened after the end of a civil war.
Electricity generation expanded 7.7 percent in May, a key indicator of reviving economic activity from the most recent currency crisis.
The central bank itself has provided the foundation for the growth with deflationary policy which has kept prices down.
However there have been warnings that the central banks target to push up cost of living by 5 to 7 percent as well as recent rate cuts may hurt monetary stability and the ability to repay foreign debt.
As the economy contracts in the stabilization crisis that follows an inflation crisis, electricity demand slows.
From January to May 2023, electricity demand fell 8.5 percent, amid the stabilization crisis triggered to restore confidence in the rupee. (Colombo/Aug20/2025)

Fler och fler svenskar väljer att vara en längre period på Sri Lanka under vintermånaderna. Här en liten berättelse från två svenska ”killar” som arbetade från sydkusten i januari-februari.
Vi var på plats januari-februari i vintras och hade en fantastiskt vistelse som avslutades med några semesterdagar på Maldiverna (1,5h med flyg från Colombo). Vi jobbar mot Sverige och hade 4,5h tidsskillnad vintertid, optimalt med jobbfria och sköna morgnar i solen och sen checka in framåt lunchtid lankesisk tid när svenska kollegorna börjar vakna till liv.
Större delen av tiden var vi nere på sydkusten och första månaden spenderades i Ahangama – rätt mycket surfarturister, märks att det är ett up-and-coming ställe. Vi bodde i ett guesthouse och spenderade arbetsdagarna på Animals Ahangama (https://www.instagram.com/animalsahangama/), nyöppnat hotell av två svenskar (Arvid & Anndala) med både coworking-yta med bra wifi och grym mat i restaurangdelen. Rekommenderas!
Finns en hel del andra coworking-ställen där också, vi träffade en amerikan som jobbade ifrån Nets (https://www.instagram.com/netscowork/) bland annat.
Gillar man bastu och isbad så finns Ember and Ice (https://www.instagram.com/emberandiceahangama/) som också drivs av en svensk, minns inte namnet dock.
Andra delena av vistelsen lite längre österut i bland annat Hiriketiya, lite lugnare ställe och fina stränder! Jobbade från Verse Collective (https://www.instagram.com/verse_collective/). Stark rekommendation att besöka Smoke & Bitters (https://www.instagram.com/smoke.bitters/), framröstat som Asiens #14 bästa bar och världens #86 bästa. Grym mat och grymma drinkar!
Sen hann vi åka runt lite på andra ställen med som Wadduwa och klassiska Ella-Kandy-tågresan, även Mirissa där jag vet att Asaya Sands är nyöppnat (https://www.instagram.com/asayasands/), något Leif säkert tipsat om redan. Det var inte på plats än när vi var där tyvärr. Colombo några dagar på slutet innan vi flög vidare.
Vi sitter i mycket Teams-möten om dagarna så wifit nere i byarna på sydkusten var en liten oro på förhand, men på coworkingställena vi jobbade ifrån funkade det klockrent. Rekommenderar också att fixa SIM-kort via Dialog så kan man internetdela om man är på språng. Kostade inte många kronor.
Colombo Dockyard PLC (CDPLC) recently delivered the eighth vessel in the 5000 DWT Eco Bulk Carrier series, named “Misje Lily,” to Misje Eco Bulk AS of Norway, marking another milestone in this successful long-term collaboration.
Following the handover of the first vessel in September 2022, CDPLC has continued to deliver each ship in the series with increasing efficiency. The completion of Misje Lily once again demonstrates Colombo Dockyard’s ability to meet international standards.
The 89.95m DNV-classed Eco Bulker was conceptualised by Wartsila Ship Design Norway, with detailed design work carried out by CDPLC’s skilled in-house design team. In line with the latest trends in sustainable shipping, the vessel is equipped with an advanced Energy Storage Battery System (ESS) for Electric Hybrid Propulsion, complementing the conventional diesel propulsion system to enhance operational performance and reduce environmental impact.
The successful delivery of Misje Lily reaffirms Colombo Dockyard’s reputation as a reliable builder of high-quality, eco-friendly vessels for discerning global clients.
Colombo, August 3 (Daily Mirror) – Foreign tourists arriving in Sri Lanka can obtain temporary driving licenses directly at the Bandaranaike International Airport (BIA) at Katunayake from today.
