Sri Lanka : Building the Capacity of the Sustainable Energy Authority
The purpose of the TA is to strengthen the institutional capacity and technical capability of SEA to facilitate and coordinate the Government?s efforts to promote the sustainable development of renewable energy sources. The outcome of the TA will be building within SEA adequate capacity and technical knowledge of (i) managing a portfolio of renewable energy projects including identification, assessment, documentation and inventorying of all renewable energy resources in the country and providing quality information to project developers and (ii) creating an enabling environment to encourage investments to significantly enhance renewable energy generation through development of relevant policies, integrated resource planning and financial incentives in various economic sectors.

Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy | The National Energy Policy and Strategies of Sri Lanka 2006 identifies development of indigenous energy sources and implementation of energy efficiency / conservation measures as a key strategy in the national energy security agenda. SEA is mandated to develop and implement the country?s policy for renewable energy development, energy efficiency improvement and energy conservation. ADB?s sector assistance strategy aims at improved provision of electricity and increased electricity connection and the development of renewable energy sources is identified as one of the major means of achieving them. Support for the SEA is, therefore, fully aligned with the strategy. |
