The Way Ahead
National Energy Policy and Strategies of Sri Lanka has assigned
responsibility of achieving several policy objectives to Sustainable
Energy Authority. Among these, ensuring energy security, increasing
indigenous energy and improving energy efficiency rank highest
in our priorities. Accordingly, we have crystallized a grand
vision for the organization – An Energy Secure Sri Lanka
In our journey towards an energy secure Sri Lanka, we have
set three primary goals for the Sustainable Energy Authority.
Ensuring Energy Security
Energy security of the individual citizen and the energy security
of the nation will be our responsibility. The ways and means
of achieving this distant goal will essentially built on management
of knowledge, formulation of policies and transformation of
market and systems. We foresee a Sri Lanka where all citizens
have access to modern energy services by 2017.
Increasing Indigenous Energy
Sustainable Energy Authority will try to reach a target of
10% of all energy forms generated from non-conventional renewable
energy resources by 2017. This ambitious target will be achieved
across all areas including electricity, transport and domestic
sectors.
Arresting Growth of Energy Intensity
of Economic
Keeping the economic development of Sri Lanka in focus and
in anticipation of a strong growth in industrial sector, intensity
of economy will continue to increase. Our aim will be to manage
the energy intensity of economy at 500toe/XDRM even in 2017.
