Sri Lanka has connected its first 10 MW Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) to the national grid, marking a key step in its energy transition and renewable capacity expansion. Plans are underway to rapidly increase battery storage capacity to 560 MW within the next year through competitive procurement.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Climate Tech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Battery storage capacity is about to grow fast in Sri Lanka's grid, creating openings for firms that supply or service energy storage tech. You should start engaging utilities and developers now to secure a foothold before the market scales sharply.
