At Genso Solar, we’re proud to share some incredible news that reflects the true power of renewable energy in Sri Lanka.
During the 2025 Sinhala and Tamil New Year holidays, Sri Lanka was able to temporarily shut down one of its coal power plants, thanks in large part to the contribution of rooftop solar systems across the country.
This is a clear example of how your investment in solar power is directly helping reduce fossil fuel use, cut emissions, and support the national grid — especially during low-demand periods like Avurudu.
⚡ What Happened?
- With lower electricity demand over the holidays, the Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) was able to rely more on renewable sources, especially rooftop solar.
- This shift allowed CEB to temporarily shut down one of the country’s major coal-fired power plants.
- It’s a milestone showing that distributed solar energy can play a major role in national energy planning.
