Sri Lanka. Notifications

Sri Lanka. There are no country-specific provisions. Responsibility for Taxes. The following provision supplements Section 8 of the Agreement: By accepting the RSUs, the Participant agrees to immediately notify the Employer of the amount of any gain realized upon vesting of the RSUs. If the Participant does not inform the Employer of the sale, transfer or other disposition of shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan and the Employer is subject to penalties or interest as a result of not being able to withhold Tax-Related Items, the Employer may recover any such penalty and interest amounts from the Participant. In addition, if the Participant fails to advise the Employer of the gain realized upon vesting of the RSUs, then he or she may be liable for a fine. The Participant will be responsible for paying the difference between the actual Tax-Related Items liability and the amount withheld.

Sri Lanka. The National Engineering Research and Development (NERD) Centre set up under the Industrial Corporation Act in 1974 was the pioneering organization which has started efforts towards use of solar energy for water heating applications in Sri Lanka. The NERD at Ekala Industrial Estate has its own laboratories, workshops to undertake R&D, testing work for solar thermal technologies. Late 1970s, there were a few SWH installations, these were imported units and extremely costly. The centre started its research to develop a solar water heater with a very good performance and able to compete with imported units. The efforts were successful (1980) and the manufactured SWH systems were commercially marketed through a firm “Alpha Thermal Systems Pvt Limited”. attributed to the individual manufacturers and suppliers of SWH systems. Imported systems from China and Australia exist and compete with the locally manufactured products. There are no tax or custom duty incentives on installation or purchase of SWH systems in Sri Lanka. Design and installation practices: Upon interest expressed by the site owner for installation of SWH system for the premises, the key steps are as follows: Site survey (for verifying suitability of the technology for the intended purpose and site conditions); Sizing of the system; plumbing work; installation and commissioning. The procedures are explained in detail in Annexure II. Sri Lanka • High-end residential consumers, hotels and tourism industry are Potential Markets for SWH Installations and Annual Market Growth of 7% • Growth of SWH Installations in Sri Lanka is attributed to the Marketing Efforts of Individual Manufacturers or Suppliers • Flat plate type collectors with passive system are widely used SWH systems. Pre- fabricated systems with 150-300 L capacities are popular • Manufacturers/ Suppliers also provide Installation, Commissioning services and Maintenance services during Guarantee period • Site Survey, Sizing of the System, Plumbing Work form Major Components of Installation and Commissioning of SWH Systems

Sri Lanka. Compared to India, Sri Lanka’s draft offers are somewhat limited. Sri Lanka’s offers build upon what is on the table at the current Doha round of WTO GATS (General Agreement on Trade in Agreement) and include a few additional sectors based Sri Lanka’s service import needs. Offers in mode 4 (movement of professionals) are almost nil and other offers are all either at or below the current level of liberalization that is autonomously ac- corded through Sri Lanka’s investment and exchange laws.

Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka has a fairly new pre-hospital EMS system and is considered a low income country (Zimmerman, Bertermann, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, 2013). Like Kenya, it has had an influx of displaced persons and has experienced civil unrest. In 2007, an EMS system was initiated. In 2009, it became fully implemented and modeled after the US system, and the government and private sector came together to support a coordinated EMS system (▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al., 2013). A study, published in 2013, looked at the implementation of this system, using both process and operational indicators (▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al., 2013). The study was conducted by reviewing training logs for EMTs, doctors, and nurses, as well as community awareness sessions, and also logs of the utilization rate of the EMS system. Utilization information was gathered mostly from the central dispatch center that responded to the country’s newly established toll free emergency short code number, 1-1-0 (▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al., 2013). The study showed that in the first 11 months of operation, the system responded to more than 2000 emergency calls, with minimal financial loss. This was considered a success for a newly established system, and in terms of utility and financial stability, is to be considered a model pre- hospital system for low income countries (▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al., 2013). It is important to see that another LMIC that has a long history of complex issues, such as the tsunami, can have a successful implementation of an EMS system with the proper support and coordination. This is the desire of many of the stakeholders in Kenya.

Sri Lanka. The National Energy Policy & Strategies of Sri Lanka accepted by Government of Sri Lanka in 2008 is the only driving policy for power and energy sector developments in the country. However, there is no mention of promotion of solar water heaters technologies in the policy document. The country’s focus with respect to renewable sources of energy is to utilize and generate off-grid on grid connected electricity to meet the demand from supply side.

Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka does not have any approved solar water heaters testing laboratories within the country. However, the National Engineering Research and Development (NERD) 11 is instrumental in fabrication of SWH from locally available materials and also have all the facilities required for testing of the units.

Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka, officially the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka is an island country in South Asia located about 31 kilo meters off the southern coast of India. Sri Lanka Lies between 5° - 10° of North Latitude and 80° - 82° of East Longitude. Sri Lanka obtained political independence from the British in 1948 under the name “Dominion of Ceylon” which was changed to Sri Lanka in 1978. The island lies in the Indian Ocean, to the Southwest of Bay of Bengal. It is separated from the Indian subcontinent by the Gulf of Mannar and the ▇▇▇▇ Straits. Sri Lanka has a total area of 65,610 km2 with a coastline of about 1,340 km long. Its terrain is mostly low, flat to rolling plain, with mountains in the south-central interior. The natural beauty of Sri Lanka's tropical forests, beaches and landscape, as well as its rich cultural heritage, make it a world famous tourist destination. It was ranked the fifty fifth with a population of about 21 million by the Central Intelligence Agency7 (CIA). Sri Lanka is a member of the Commonwealth, the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC), the World Bank, International Monetary Fund (IMF), Asian Development Bank (ADB), and the Colombo Plan. 2.2.1 Electricity Scenario in Sri Lanka
