In the proposed renewable energy project, the Indian company ‘Adani’ is in a move to take away dollars extracted from energy generated by solar power by selling it to Sri Lanka, alleged Leader of the National People’s Power (NPP) MP Anura Kumara Dissanayake, speaking to a press conference.
As a result dollars will be spent despite coal and diesel being replaced by wind power, he noted, emphasising that the country’s energy field must not be submitted to the racketeers via such means.
Therefore, projects with a capacity of more than 10 megawatts must be offered through a procurement procedure at competitive prices, the NPP Leader pointed out.
It is also important to give maximum priority to local investors, he added.
