The Seventh Regional Committee Meeting (RCM) of the International Solar Alliance (ISA) for the Asia and the Pacific Region commenced in Colombo. The formal inauguration will be done by Prime Minister Dr. Harini Amarasuriya and Director General of ISA Ashish Khanna tomorrow. Being held under the theme, “Advancing Solar Cooperation Across a Region of Diversity and Opportunity,” the event brings together officials, institutions, and private sector leaders to accelerate solar energy deployment across the region.
The meeting focuses on expanding regional platforms, de-risking solar investments, and adopting technologies like green hydrogen and energy storage. Sessions will also explore cross-border solar trade, regional STAR Centres, and the operationalisation of a solar marketplace for Small Island Developing States.
ISA Director General Ashish Khanna called the region, central to the global energy transition and highlighted the meeting’s role in shaping investment-ready, scalable solutions.
In addition, country-level partnerships and agreements with institutions will be signed during the meet.
India, which co-founded ISA in 2015, plays a key role in its leadership and continues to support the alliance’s efforts to make solar energy accessible and affordable worldwide.
