The World Bank Group (WBG) undertook the Sri Lanka Energy Infrastructure Sector Assessment Program (Infra SAP) study to assess the future investment needs to develop the energy sector in Sri Lanka. The Infra SAP explored the best potential options to mobilize foreign and domestic capital using limited public finance in the country. The financing landscape for energy infrastructure and the constraints to public and private financing in the country were analyzed as a backdrop to identifying potential financing sources and mechanism.
While the study examined the entire energy sector, particular focus was on the development of non-conventional renewable energy (NCRE) and liquefied natural gas (LNG) to meet long-term energy demand in a sustainable and cost-effective manner. Based on the analysis and extensive stakeholder discussions, the WBG has developed a recommended roadmap for maximizing financing for the sustainable development of the energy sector by leveraging commercial financing.
