The launch was attended by industry stake holders and was an extravagant event with the presence of Chief Guest, Power and Renewable Energy Deputy Minister Ajith P. Perera.

In a comprehensive presentation, CCI displayed an impressive overview of Colombo’s commercial capital, showing the rapid vertical development of the city centre, emphasizing the need for quality construction based on proper monitoring and safety precautionary measures.

In his speech, the minister stressed on the government’s intentions towards power generation by means of renewable energy resources and the gradual moving away from fossil fuel generated electricity. He also stated that the long term plan of the government would be towards wind and solar generated energy, which would in due course bring down the unit cost of electricity for consumers.
At the event, tokens of appreciation were presented to the sponsors of Build Sri Lanka 2016 and the sponsors for the previous exposition on sustainable energy. Nihon Green Power Company (Pvt.) Ltd pledged their sponsorship for the forthcoming exhibition as the main sponsor.
