‘s Solar Scheme Adds 630 Million Units in 2023

The Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) implemented the Rooftop Solar Scheme, which resulted in an addition of 630 million units of electricity to the national grid in 2023.

This initiative has been supported by electricity consumers across the country. Notably, these consumers have transitioned from traditional electricity users to generating and selling electricity to the national grid, marking a shift from being consumers to ‘prosumers’.

The CEB staff, particularly in the distribution departments, have successfully integrated solar panel systems into the national grid, addressing various engineering and technical challenges along the way.
