Dr. Nalinda Jayatissa
The Cabinet of Ministers has granted consent for the SAARC Energy Centre to conduct a training workshop themed ‘Financial Modelling for Renewable Energy Projects’ in Colombo from 5 to 7 October 2026, with Sri Lanka to extend hospitality for the event.
The workshop is expected to draw participation from two representatives of each SAARC member country, including Sri Lanka. The SAARC Energy Centre will provide all local hospitality facilities and airport transport for participants, excluding airfare.
Addressing the weekly post-Cabinet meeting media briefing, Cabinet Spokesman and Minister Dr. Nalinda Jayatissa said the decision followed a proposal highlighting the workshop’s importance for building the capacity of public officers and other related parties in project evaluation and financial modelling within the renewable energy sector.
The proposal to this effect was submitted by Energy Minister Anura Karunathilake.
