Sri Lanka signs 20-year power deal with India's Adani Green

Sri Lanka has finalised a significant 20-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with India's Adani Green Energy Limited (AGEL), marking a significant stride in both nations' renewable energy ambitions.

The agreement, valued at $1.5 billion, entails the supply of 200 MW of renewable energy generated from a solar power plant to be constructed in the northern region of Sri Lanka.

This venture not only contributes to Sri Lanka's energy security but also facilitates economic growth and environmental sustainability. With the increasing emphasis on renewable energy globally, this agreement sets a positive precedent for future collaborations between nations in the pursuit of a greener and more sustainable future.
