The Sri Lankan government has greenlit the construction of a Renewable Energy Training Centre with a budget of Rs. 398 million. This initiative aims to enhance the skilled workforce for the country's renewable energy sector, responding to the increasing demand for qualified technicians.

The Cabinet of Ministers in Sri Lanka has approved the establishment of a Renewable Energy Training Centre, estimated at Rs. 398 million, utilizing local funding. This project follows a MoU signed on 10 February 2025 between the Sri Lanka-German Technical Training Institute (SLGTI) and the Sri Lanka Sustainable Energy Authority (SLSEA).
Located on 3.11 acres in the Mayurapura Division, the facility will be affiliated with SLGTI and near the Kiriebbanwewa Solar Power Plant. The centre aims to serve as a national training hub, offering programs in solar, wind, and hydropower, among other areas. This initiative is critical for meeting the demand for skilled professionals as Sri Lanka transitions to sustainable energy solutions.
