E B Creasy Solar’s solar-powered irrigation project in Nikaweratiya
E B Creasy Solar recently completed a landmark project in the Nikaweratiya area, in partnership with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), utilising cutting-edge German Lorentz solar-powered water pumps.
This project is set to revolutionise water accessibility, for both irrigation and consumption, promising to pump 1 million litres of water per day, powered entirely by solar energy without using fuel or grid electricity. Amidst fluctuating economic conditions and rising costs of fuel and electricity, these pumps will help ensure that farmers will have consistent access to water, affordably, the company said in a media release.
Accordingly, this initiative is helping to transform the lives of farmers in Nikaweratiya, a key agricultural region, who have faced significant challenges due to water scarcity. The project aims to provide water to 90 per cent of the farmers in the village, marking a significant milestone in their journey towards sustainable agriculture. By harnessing the power of the sun, E B Creasy Solar is also helping to promote sustainable prosperity and environmentally friendly agricultural practices in the region.
Furthermore, E B Creasy Solar’s commitment goes beyond the initial implementation of the project, as the company has pledged to offer technical support and maintenance services, at no cost to the farmers. “This generous act underscores E B Creasy Solar’s dedication to community service and corporate social responsibility, ensuring the long-term success and sustainability of the project,” the release said.
This recent achievement is the latest in a series of impactful projects by E B Creasy Solar. From large-scale solar installations, such as at Pyramid Wilmar, CEYFLEX Rubber, and Lanka Special Steels, to facilitating clean energy solutions for a host of other manufacturing facilities, businesses, and homes, across Sri Lanka, E B Creasy Solar has proven its expertise and commitment to environmental sustainability. Each project showcases the company’s ability to deliver innovative solutions that meet the needs of both people and the planet.
The company’s expertise in engineering, commitment to safety, and dedication to environmental consciousness have not only yielded financial savings for its clients, but are also blazing the trail towards a cleaner, greener, and more sustainable future.
