Application of renewable energy for power generation in doldrums due to CEB engineers’ conduct (VIDEO)

Date:

The failure of application of renewable energy on power supply was due to the actions of some electrical engineers in the Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB), divulged Engineer Noel Priyantha, Chairman of the Workers’ Union of the CEB, speaking to a briefing held today (12).

With the existing power crisis, the fact that the CEB can no longer depend of fossil fuels has become clear, Priyantha pointed out.

The President’s solution to the existing power crisis, which would be adaptation of renewable energy for the generation of power for 70 per cent of power supply by 2030, is the most ideal solution at this moment, he noted.

Priyantha added that the problem was not the lack of power plants in the country but the absence of dollars to import oil.
