Ceylon Energy shines on global stage at Middle East Energy Exhibition in Dubai
Daily FT: DH Ceylon Energy Dubai, a key player in the Ceylon Energy group, made a powerful impression at the prestigious Middle East Energy Exhibition 2025, held at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 7 to 10 April. As the largest energy exhibition in the Middle Eastern region, the event brought together global leaders in energy innovation, and Ceylon Energy proudly stood among them, not only as a participant but as a beacon of vision, resilience, and transformation.
A major highlight of the event was the keynote address delivered by former Ceylon Electricity Board Chairman and the current DH Ceylon Energy Dubai CEO Nalinda Ilangakoon. Speaking at the technical seminar, his address titled “Sri Lanka’s Energy Transformation: Turning Crisis into Opportunity” drew significant attention and acclaim. Ilangakoon powerfully emphasised the spirit of resilience that defines Sri Lanka, a nation that has faced adversity throughout history yet continues to rise, rebuild, and reimagine its future. “The energy crisis was one of the greatest challenges our nation faced. But it also became a catalyst for change. Through innovation, collaboration, and brave decision-making, we turned that crisis into an opportunity,” he stated, reinforcing the belief that sustainable energy is not just a solution, it’s a necessity for national and global progress.
Ceylon Energy, as a group, has positioned itself as a revolutionary force in the energy sector. With a deep commitment to sustainability and technological innovation, the company is not only reshaping Sri Lanka’s energy landscape but is extending its impact globally. Its participation in the Middle East Energy Exhibition was a powerful demonstration of this global vision. One of the standout technologies presented was the ground-breaking Helical Manufacturing Technology, manufactured in collaboration with Hubbell Power Systems Inc. With this partnership, Ceylon Energy proudly holds the distinction of being the only organisation in the world, apart from the United States of America, to produce this patented technology from Sri Lanka, a testament to the company’s technical brilliance and innovative spirit.
“Helical manufacturing is just a fraction of what we are capable of,” said Ceylon Energy Chairman Madusanka Fernando. “Our vision is to create a sustainable habitat for future generations, to innovate energy in ways that uplift lives without compromising our planet. At Ceylon Energy, we believe in lighting the lives of people today, and for generations to come.” With every initiative and international footprint, Ceylon Energy is proving that meaningful transformation begins with a clear vision, a courageous heart, and a commitment to creating a better world. The company’s presence at the Middle East Energy Exhibition is not just a milestone, it’s a promise of what’s to come.
OSL take:
Sri Lanka’s power and energy industry which is on an expansion path presents a host of business/investment opportunities. The country’s energy transformation as pointed out by the former Chairman of the Ceylon Electricity Board has become an emerging business/investment opportunity. From the opening of Sri Lanka’s retail fuel market to the commitment to increase the country’s renewable energy generation capacity have all presented lucrative business ventures for foreign businesses/investors on the lookout for opportunities in the region. Sri Lanka’s strategic positioning in the Indian Ocean, strong trade ties and the target of becoming a hub in the South Asian region have all helped the expansion in the power and energy industry. All these factors further indicate that the business/investment opportunities in the local power and energy industry would continue to revolve with the increasing demand. The operations of many foreign businesses/investors in Sri Lanka’s power and energy industry as well as the growth and profits recorded by businesses already operating in the industry in the country are further indicative of the growing business potential in the industry and related sectors. The development of infrastructure and supplementary infrastructure facilities required by the power and energy industry also present many opportunities. Given all these, foreign businesses/investors could explore the expanding business/investment opportunities in Sri Lanka’s power and energy industry.
