Three grand prizes of LKR 4 Million in each category, to cover the required technical equipment and training, awaits the winners to implement their green energy innovations as proposed.

During the past few months, GIZ offered writing workshops together through their partner Janathakshan in all 9 provinces to help participants in proposal writing.


The three most promising proposals selected in each category will be invited to a further workshop to help them fine-tune their project ideas under professional guidance.


A jury panel from the German Embassy, the Sri Lankan Sustainable Energy Authority, GIZ and other experts will select the best project ideas of each category.
