The "Surakimu Lanka" national program, which was created with the aim of encouraging the public to use energy sparingly, was officially launched on April 29.
The primary objective of this is to create a community that carefully protects energy sources.
The government is implementing this program considering the possible disruptions to the country's energy and fuel supply due to the military situation in the Middle East region and the predictions of the upcoming "El Nino" weather conditions.
The government points out the dire need to use state resources with extreme frugality and transparency, and the main expectation is to get the public to contribute directly for national energy security.
This program is scheduled to be implemented for the next five months from April 29.
This program is implemented under the theme "Surakimu Lanka - Let's Join - Let's Shine" under the Clean Sri Lanka program, which is implemented with the vision of "A Prosperous Country - A Beautiful Life".
The participation of government and semi-government institutions as well as the private sector, civil society and the general public is expected for this.
The "Surakimu Lanka" program will encourage people to limit their electricity use during peak hours (6:00 PM to 10:00 PM) or to carry out electricity-intensive activities during the day as much as possible.
