OSL take:
The increase in local businesses in the renewable energy generation sector is a clear indication of the steady growth in Sri Lanka’s power industry. With Sri Lanka on a growth path with a target of becoming a hub in the South Asian region, the business/investment opportunities in the country’s power industry, especially the renewable energy generation sector, would also continue to witness an expansion to meet the increasing demand. Sri Lanka’s renewable energy generation sector therefore presents a host of business/investment opportunities for foreign businesses/investors exploring opportunities in the country. The growth, expansion and profits recorded by local businesses in the renewable energy sector is also indicative of the lucrative nature of the businesses. Foreign businesses could also look at forming collaborations with local businesses with the aim of further expansion internationally as well.
