“We receive energy from sunlight or solar power only in the day time. We generate electricity using petroleum only when necessary during night time. These two sources are unrelated. The source of electricity supply is determined based on the requirement.
Also, since coming into power, our government has never been engaged in any objective or procedure to generate energy from diesel or else petroleum by reducing the utilization of Renewable Energy.
We will never reduce the utilization of Renewable Energy and generate electricity using petroleum”, responded Minister of Energy, Eng. Kumara Jayakody today (17) in Parliament to an oral question raised by opposition MP, Mr. Ravi Karunanayake.
