Sri Lanka and ISA ink solar deployment roadmap

The country eyes for 70% renewable energy generation in five years.

Sri Lanka and the International Solar Alliance (ISA) have signed a Country Partnership Framework to fuel solar energy rollout in the country.

In a statement, ISA said the agreement outlines a strategic roadmap for accelerating solar deployment, financing, and institutional capacity in Sri Lanka.

Minister Kumara Jayakody, Minister of Energy, Sri Lanka, noted that the country aims for 70% renewable energy in electricity generation by 2030 and to reach carbon neutrality by 2050.

“The Platform will help Small Island Developing States benefit from economies of scale, reduced transaction costs through competitive bidding, and enhanced knowledge exchange,” he said.

“We are committed to working in close partnership with each Member State to design tailored, impactful interventions aligned with national priorities—towards a resilient, inclusive, and solar-powered future for the Asia Pacific,” said ISA Director General Mr Ashish Khanna.
