China Enters Energy Sri Lanka In A Big Way

The most recent Chinese involvement in Sri Lanka offers solar power. At the moment the energy usage in Sri Lanka will be analysed as hydro-electricity 41.39 %; fossil fuel power 53.37 % and nontraditional recycled and renewable energy 8.24 %. To describe the Chinese involvement inside providing solar technology to Sri Lanka, a seminar about "The Positive Effect on Solar Energyand of Integrating Solar-Hydro Power sources about Clean Energy Production inside Sri Lanka" happened in Colombo, the other day, with Susil Premajayantha, Minister of Environment and Renewable Power as chief guest. Integration of solar powered energy to hydro energy grid will be implemented with the collaboration of 3 institutions - Henergy Team Ltd, China; China National Machinery Importers and Exporters Company (CMC) and Mawella Holdings Sri Lanka. Ms Helen Zhang, Vice President, Henergy Team addressing the seminar said that the integration of solar powered energy to the primary hydro energy grid would generate enormous advantages to Sri Lanka where in fact the hydro power could possibly be preserved for the peak hrs, as the solar power could possibly be used to the ideal throughout the day time. She said that solar powered energy not merely provides energy, nonetheless it would make Sri Lanka strong with clean power since solar powered energy is completely green and saves forex in reducing import of fossil gas. The largest level of energy procured simply by renewable energy such as for example solar powered energy in China is supplied by Henergy Group, she described and said that her organization has twenty years experience within providing capacity to China. Consequently, she said they will be the best people to aid Sri Lanka to obtain the maximum advantage from solar power. She said that with solar powered energy integration the Ceylon Electric power Table (CEB) could obtain 10 % of energy with nontraditional renewable energy in 2015 which quantity could possibly be doubled by 2020. She indicated that the CEB is currently focused to acquire power through the method of renewable power such as for example solar power plus they are decided to reduce reliance on fossil fuel. There are a variety of advantages a country could accrue through the use of solar power, Ms Zhang said and indicated that certain of the advantages may be the vast technical experience that's available globally for big investments on solar powered energy and in Sri Lanka. She said there exists a huge potential to build up it in large level.
