Renewable energy and technology solutions provider, JLanka Technologies has inaugurated its first international business entity, JLanka international, based out of Bahrain to serve the GCC and wider Middle East market.
In commencing operations in the region, JLanka was commissioned to conduct an exclusive training program in Bahrain in cooperation with the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) Bahrain, along with the country’s Sustainable Energy Unit (SEU) and the Electricity and Water Authority (EWA), to train and certify solar PV installers. JLanka has also been commissioned for a comprehensive survey of government buildings in Bahrain for solar energy potential for an upcoming tender based feed-in-tariff (FiT) program.
“We are excited about the opportunity of knowledge sharing and enormous potential for our solar and pioneering renewable energy and technology solutions in Bahrain, the Gulf region and Middle East,” commented Jayantha Jayamanna, Chief Operating Officer of JLanka. “Our proven expertise and established operation has led to JLanka’s global acceptance as industry leaders,’’ he said.
The training workshop, scheduled to be held next month is organized by the Ministry of Electricity and Water Affairs of Bahrain in cooperation with the country’s Sustainable Energy Unit, a Government-UNDP established unit for forming strategies, policies and legislations, and for stimulating initiatives and investment projects that promote energy efficiency and widening the share of the production of energy from renewable sources.
