This paper describes the study
undertaken to assist the government of Sri Lanka in
identifying a path toward sustainable power development. The
timing of the report is important, as Sri Lanka is about to
embark on the development of coal-fired power plants over
the coming years. The purpose of this study is to determine
how much cheaper coal-fired generation is than other energy
sources; how much more environmentally friendly are the
alternatives; what impacts would be more environmentally
friendly; and what effect would the policies have on power
sector costs and electricity tariffs. The report seeks to
provide a quantitative analysis that will help
decision-makers assess various power sector policy options
in terms of the trade-offs between environment, costs, and
other impacts. The study makes recommendations only if
options are unambiguously winwin; but more often than not,
tradeoffs are required, and ultimately the government must
decide what it considers to be more important. A number of
alternative policies and technologies were systematically
analysed, and the report gives a brief description of each option. |
