Jetwing Colombo Seven partners with the USAID
View(s):- The Way for Sustainable mobility in the Hospitality Sector
Ambassador Chung celebrates USAID Sri Lanka Energy Program collaboration with the Jetwing Colombo Seven, to usher in a new era of environmentally conscious transportation within the hospitality sector. This collaboration will establish solar-powered charging facilities for electric vehicles (EVs) on the premises of Jetwing Colombo Seven while using electric three-wheelers to enhance guest experience.
The focal point of the initiative is the installation of a cutting-edge 19.8 kW solar photovoltaic (PV) system, complementing the existing grid-tied PV system at the hotel. The net-metered connection will track electricity consumption for EV charging, ensuring a seamless balance between power usage and generation. Any surplus electricity generated will be integrated back into the hotel’s grid for its own use, underscoring Jetwing Colombo Seven’s dedication to sustainable energy practices.
To facilitate EV charging, the charging station features four charging bays. Chargers are supplied by ChargeNET, a renowned leader in EV charging, adding Jetwing Colombo network in the country, providing efficient charging capabilities and catering to hotel-owned vehicles, guest EVs, and external users. This strategic inclusion aligns with Jetwing Colombo Seven’s commitment to support the burgeoning EV ecosystem in Sri Lanka.
Furthermore, Jetwing Colombo Seven will pioneer commercial use of Vega Innovations’ electric three-wheelers, equipped with an impressive 10kWh battery capacity and 125km range. By introducing these Sri Lankan-built electric three-wheelers, powered by renewable energy, the hotel is poised to revolutionize its internal logistics and guest transport services, offering an unparalleled zero emission travel experience.
