Sri Lanka’s cabinet has approved a proposal to take steps to increase the country’s offshore wind potential in stages through private sector investment, the government’s information department said on Tuesday.
The department, announcing a list of cabinet decisions taken at a meeting on Monday, said the north, west and south-east regions of Sri Lanka have been identified as areas with high potential to generate electricity through large-scale offshore wind power plants.
According to the department, the feasibility study on the development of offshore wind had been conducted by World Bank consultants.—Xinhua
