◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
If you build battery management software, inverters, or grid integration tools, Sri Lanka is ordering 750 MW of storage capacity on a fast track - that's a procurement window closing in 18 months for suppliers who can move now. The Asian Development Bank is financing it, which means payment risk is low and specs are already locked.
