Sri Lanka Integrated National Financing Framework (INFF)

Sri Lanka’s path to a clean-energy future requires not only new technologies but a financing system that can deliver both energy security and energy equity. This Integrated National Financing Framework (INFF) Financing Strategy provides that system. Developed by the Ministry of Energy with technical support from UNDP, and shaped through two years of national consultations, the strategy aligns renewable energy ambitions with the country’s fiscal realities and social priorities.

Grounded in Sri Lanka’s Electricity Act 2024 and the national target of sourcing 70 percent of electricity from renewables by 2030, the strategy maps out how to mobilize the USD 15–30 billion in investments needed for generation, transmission, distribution, storage and clean cooking solutions. It addresses the structural causes of energy poverty - ranging from unaffordable tariffs to reliance on traditional biomass - while creating incentives for private capital and international climate finance.

More than an investment plan, the INFF Financing Strategy is a coordinating framework. It links technical transition goals with social equity outcomes, unites sectoral investment planning with cross-government action and matches macroeconomic constraints with innovative fiscal and financial instruments. By embedding equity, affordability and resilience into every financing decision, the strategy positions Sri Lanka to transform its energy sector into a driver of inclusive, climate-resilient growth.
