Summary:

India has provided rooftop solar systems to many holy sites in Sri Lanka, strengthening its energy ties with the island. According to Economy Next, representatives from the Indian High Commission, the Ceylon Electricity Board, and the Sri Lanka Sustainable Energy Authority delivered solar panels to the Buddhist temple in Hokandara, Sri Aanjaneyar Temple, St. Anthony's Church, and Mutwal Jumma Mosque on Friday.

This program is part of a US$ 17 million scheme to install 25 MW of solar rooftop systems at 5,000 religious organizations across Sri Lanka's nine provinces. The project aims to deliver around 37 million units annually, assisting Sri Lanka in lowering energy costs and transitioning to renewable energy. It is expected to be completed early next year, with a five-year maintenance period to ensure sustainability and alignment with India's "Neighbourhood First" policy.
