 Questions

• Is the energy efficiency of Sri Lanka as a

whole, improving or not ?
• Energy intensive industries are being
crippled by the high energy costs. Should Sri
Lanka help them, promote more of such
industries, or simply let them look after
themselves ?
• Is Sri Lanka’s energy pricing policy
promoting energy efficiency ? What more can
be done ?
• What more can be done to improve Sri
Lanka’s electricity demand profile ?
