ABSTRACT
Sri Lanka's energy future depends on its adaptability to renewable energy while negating technical, financial, and social challenges. The sustainability of Sri Lanka's energy future depends on the ability of renewable energy to displace fossil fuels while understanding fossil fuel displacement as a socio-political and spatial process. Sri Lanka needs to see energy justice, security, and climate change through the prism of public values rather than strategic national interests. The energy transition can potentially re-localise the economy around human-scale institutions directly connected to the communities in which they operate if it can democratise the transition.
