Lanka Sustainable Energy Authority<\/a> handed over the solar panels and other materials to a Buddhist temple at Hokandara, Sri Aanjaneyar Temple, St. Anthony&#8217;s Church, and Mutwal Jumma Mosque here, Economy Next reported on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>This initiative is part of a USD 17 million Indian project which aims to install 25 MW solar rooftop systems across 5,000 religious institutions throughout the island nation.<\/p>\n<p>Designed to reduce energy expenses and support Sri Lanka&#8217;s shift toward renewable energy, the project spans all nine provinces and 25 districts.<\/p>\n<p>The project will supply about 37 million units annually and contribute to Sri Lanka&#8217;s \u201cpeople-centric energy transition\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><!--\/include_growfast.cms?pagename=article&skipcss=1potime:1--><br \/>\u201cThe project is designed to reduce energy costs for these institutions while bolstering Sri Lanka&#8217;s transition to clean energy,\u201d the Indian High Commission said.\u201cThe project is expected to be completed by early next year.\u201cBeyond the supply and installation of the systems, the project also includes a 5-year maintenance period to ensure long-term efficiency and sustainability,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n<p>This effort aligns with India&#8217;s \u201cNeighbourhood First\u201d policy emphasising cooperation on Sri Lankan priorities.<\/p>\n<p>Other renewable projects include solar electrification of around 9000 Buddhist Temples and Pirivenas with grant assistance of USD 10 million, and hybrid renewable energy projects in the three islands off Jaffna.<\/p>\n<p>LNG supply and infrastructure development, as well as, the solar power plant at Sampur are among the largest projects. <\/p>\n<style><![CDATA[\n    \t    #sr_widget.onDemand p, #stock_pro.onDemand p{font-size: 14px;line-height: 1.28;}\n    \t    .onDemand .live_stock{left:17px;padding:1px 3px 1px
