Goal 7: Affordable and Clean Energy

Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all

Sri Lanka has achieved nearly universal coverage of domestic supply of electricity, using multiple energy sources. However, the country faces challenges pertaining to a growing dependence on fossil fuel, particularly owing to a large demand for petroluem from a rapidly growing transport sector. This has led to the share of renewable energy decreasing gradually, given limitations of renewable energy sources such as hydro power stations to fulfil rising demand, for example.
