Imagine a world suddenly plunged into darkness. The lights go out. Household appliances, fridges, fans, phones, cookers, kettles, hoovers, shut down. Trains grind to a halt. Hospital theatres and life-saving equipment are rendered useless. Classrooms, offices, factories, every corner of society, descends into stillness. This is not just a dystopian vision but a stark reality that looms when energy supply is unstable or mismanaged.
As Sri Lanka continues to battle one of the most pressing energy crises in its recent history, the need for a comprehensive, sustainable, and future-facing energy policy has never been more urgent. Recognising the seriousness of this issue, Solar Village SDG CIC and LEADS Sri Lanka are joining forces to host a vital public panel discussion titled “Sri Lanka Energy Crisis: The Future” on Sunday, 8 June 2025. This free, online Zoom event brings together some of the top minds and industry leaders in energy, climate science, and policy to discuss the future of Sri Lanka’s energy sector. The focus will be on renewable solutions, particularly solar, wind, hydro, and bioenergy, and their potential to provide long-term, secure, and sustainable power to the nation.
At the heart of this conversation lies a fundamental truth: energy is not a luxury, but a lifeline. It’s essential not just for daily convenience, but for national security, economic resilience, and societal progress. And in a world increasingly shaped by the impacts of climate change, the pivot to green energy is no longer optional; it is imperative. This panel will examine the challenges facing Sri Lanka’s current energy infrastructure, from dependency on imported fossil fuels to outdated grid systems. It will also highlight innovative renewable projects already underway and explore how community-led solutions, investment incentives, and strategic government policies can shape a cleaner, greener future.
Whether you’re an energy professional, policymaker, student, environmental advocate, or simply a concerned citizen, this event offers a powerful opportunity to engage with the issues and be part of the national conversation.
