Hospitals to be Powered by Solar Panels

The monthly electricity bill of hospitals is approximately Rs. 3 million and annually it amounts to several billions . Health Minister,  Rajitha Senarathne said,  that in addition to this, another million is spent on repairs. Hence,  he proposed to fix solar panels in hospitals island-wide under the ‘Suryabala Sangramaya’ project with the intention of  minimizing the amount spent for electricity by hospitals, from the national grid.
