Popis: Ad-hoc decisions are more the norm in the energy sector in Sri Lanka than carefully planned and analysed actions. The energy policy document prepared in 1997 has been accepted by the Ministry of Energy, but it has not been translated into a plan of action. Recent decisions on various aspects of the electricity and petroleum sub-sectors do not reflect adherence to the energy policy. Inaction on several vital issues, particularly on renewable energy and energy pricing, also shows that the energy policy in Sri Lanka is confined to a report.
