Resumen
Descripción
Sri Lanka recognizes the crucial role
of energy efficiency in advancing its development agenda,
reaching carbon neutrality by 2050, and fostering a
sustainable energy transition. Energy efficiency has long
been integrated into the country’s legislative and policy
framework, with initiatives dating back to 1985. This
commitment aligns with the global goals of sustainable
economic development, affordability, supply security, and
climate action. The country leverages energy efficiency
strategically, to drive sustainable economic development and
strengthen climate resilience across sectors, including the
vulnerable sectors of tourism, fisheries, tea plantation,
and agriculture. In addition, Sri Lanka has pledged to
reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and implement measures
to address climate vulnerabilities across sectors. Chapter 1
examines the energy efficiency potential of Sri Lanka’s
commercial, public, and industrial buildings, with a focus
on space cooling, lighting, and passive energy efficiency
measures. Chapter 2 outlines the regulatory framework, laws,
policies, and institutional setup that govern energy
efficiency initiatives in Sri Lanka. Chapter 3 discusses
implementation capacity from technical and financing
perspectives. Chapter 4 summarizes key barriers to the
deployment of energy efficiency technologies, presents
selected mitigation measures, and outlines principles for
prioritizing recommendations. Finally, chapter 5 suggests
priority actions to scale up energy efficiency investments
in the immediate, intermediate, and sustained phases.
