A few years ago, I wrote that the EU Solar Energy Strategy was aiming to double the amount of energy generated from photovoltaics by the end of 2025. It appears this is going to happen, and that the historic growth in solar power generation will continue well beyond that. This is good for all of us, not least the aluminium industry.
The "Rooftop Solar PV Power Generation Project" provides electricity consumers with long-term debt financing for installation of rooftop solar photovoltaic power generation systems in Sri Lanka. The credit line of US $ 50 million established by the Government of Sri Lanka (GoSL) through a loan from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) provides the required …
