LSN Sri Lanka ·
The SAARC Energy Centre has announced plans to conduct a specialised workshop in Colombo centred on strengthening financial expertise in the renewable energy sector across the South Asian region.
The training programme will equip participants with advanced knowledge in financial modelling techniques applicable to renewable energy ventures, addressing a critical skill gap in project development and implementation across SAARC member nations.
The initiative reflects growing recognition among South Asian policymakers of the need to build robust financing frameworks that can facilitate the transition towards sustainable energy sources. By hosting the workshop, Sri Lanka positions itself as a regional hub for knowledge exchange on renewable energy development and investment strategies.
Participants from SAARC member states are expected to attend, providing an opportunity for cross-border collaboration on renewable energy financing challenges and best practices. The workshop is anticipated to strengthen institutional capacity across the region in evaluating and structuring renewable energy projects for investment.
