On April 22, the Consul General of Sri Lanka in Shanghai, Ms. Manorie Mallikaratchy and her fellows visited Universal Energy, received by Chairman Nan, Yi. Both parties had a thorough conversation on investment policies, project feasibility, market situation in the field of clean energy of Sri Lanka.

The main purpose of Ms. Manorie’s visit to UE is to explore the cooperation opportunities of green energy. Mr. Nan firstly introduced the UE’s profile, core competencies and expressed UE’s interests in investing in Sri Lanka considering its great solar/wind power potential as well as growing demand for electricity. ‘Green energy is well advocated in Sri Lanka, however, the land resource is limited for large-scale ground-mounted Photovoltaic Power Projects and Wind Power Projects’ stated by Ms. Manorie. In response to this, Mr. Nan proposed several alternative solutions such as Floating solar, Agrivoltaics, Rooftop solar and Offshore Wind to solve land problem which were highly recognized by Ms. Manorie, and provided basis for further cooperation between two parties to follow up.

Ms. Manorie has been the Consul General of Sri Lanka in Shanghai since June 2019. She is also the director of Ocean Affairs & Climate Change and human resources development at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Sri Lanka.
