The programme was conducted by the Sri Lanka Ecotourism Foundation (SLEF) at its Renewable Energy Division Training Center at Kahapola, Madapatha from 10th March, 2018 to 1st April, 2018. SLEF is committed to mitigate the impacts of climate change, strain on the environment, environmental degradation and increase of the energy efficiency and clean technologies in Sri Lanka by introducing and promoting renewable energy sources and programs.

The practical modules of the training programme included

• Production of Small Scale Wind Turbines
• Installation of solar panels and related equipment for power generation for industries and home use (off-grid and on grid net metering systems)
• Water pumping by incorporating solar and wind power through hybrid technology
