With the aim of becoming country’s first green media institution, Sri Lankan Rupavahini Corporation (SLRC) signed a memorandum of understanding with Sri Lanka Sustainable Energy Authority last week.
As a media institution that works close to nature and environment, Rupavahini is turning to solar power for power generation and to declare the entire premises of the television station as a green zone.
The project is to be completed in 2017 and aims to bring down the monthly cost of around Rs. 10 million.
The MOU was signed by SLRC chairman Ravi Jayawardena and the Sustainable Energy Authority chairman Keerthi Wickremaratne.
At the signing of the MOU ministers Gayantha Karunathilake, Ravi Karunanayake, Ranjith Siyambalapitiya, Mano Ganeshan, Karu Paranavithana and Ajith P. Perera participated.
