Hon. Ravi Karunanayake
Hon. Ravi Karunanayake argued that rising oil prices due to Middle East tensions should not be used to question or reduce renewable energy use. He said proposals had been submitted to retain sub-10 MW power supplies locally without foreign tenders, and requested that renewable energy usage be maintained at least at current levels.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Mr. Speaker, from this reply we see that when Middle East tensions raise oil prices, there is an attempt to raise issues with renewable energy. That is not acceptable. We have submitted proposals to retain sub-10 MW power supplies locally without foreign tenders. Most importantly, due to rising oil prices, renewable usage should not be reduced; please at least maintain it at the same level.
