Shell generates power for a better lifestyle
Shell Gas has not only changed the lifestyle of many Sri Lankan
housewives by providing a clean, convenient and safe cooking fuel, but
is forging ahead to protect the natural beauty of Sri Lanka by offering
alternative energy for power generators and water pumps for
agricultural, industrial and residential use.
Shell has taken steps to support the economy of Sri Lanka by joining
hands with Cimplus Lanka (Pvt) Limited to promote LPG powered generators
and water pumps via its islandwide distribution channel to areas where
no grid power or proper irrigation methods are available.
A Memorandum of Understanding was signed recently between Shell Gas
Lanka Limited and Cimplus Lanka (Pvt) Limited thus strengthening their
impact in enhancing the lifestyle of Sri Lankans by offering rural
electrification through LPG powered generators as an alternative to
kerosene lamps and the more expensive solar panels together with
eco-friendly LPG powered water pumps for households and the agricultural
sector.
The capacity of generators range from 700w to 5,000w and single phase
to three phase.
Customers will be offered a total energy solution that will include a
new 12.5 kg Shell Gas cylinder, an LPG hose, regulator and clips.
Currently, the cost of fuel to generate this power for this
application is much lower than the cost of petrol and diesel.
While uplifting the lifestyle of the rural sector where access to the
main grid is not available and alternative methods are too expensive,
Shell has taken a positive measure to protect the environment of Sri
Lanka. |
