Sri Lanka energy minister warns lobbying for high renewable power tariffs will backfire on nation

Energy Minister Kumara Jayakody warned that lobbying for higher feed-in tariffs would raise consumer bills, noting solar prices paid to new producers have fallen from 37 → 27 → 24 → 18 rupees. He cited 30% cheaper panels, a stronger rupee, competitive low bids (e.g. Vidullanka ~3.77 USc/kWh) and additional grid/BESS costs.

Power & Energy sector: what is happening

Last 14 days to Sep 30, 2026

Rising global oil prices prompted a Rs41 billion diesel subsidy for Oct-Dec and Rs17.2 billion in electricity-bill relief, cushioning end-user energy costs while increasing reliance on budget support rather than tariff cost recovery. New rooftop solar applicants were shifted to Net Plus, limiting grid-cost cross-subsidies by requiring users to meet their own nighttime demand. The sector also advanced a four-block Mannar Basin oil and gas licensing round.
