How NSBM contributes
NSBM promotes clean and efficient energy through renewable-energy initiatives, research and sustainability-focused student projects. NSBM's earlier Green University development included a 50 kW, 192-panel rooftop solar system, which was reported to generate approximately 3–5% of the university's monthly electricity requirement at the time, with expansion planned. More recently, CREST students installed solar-powered street lights along a 250-metre stretch in Beruketiya, Kiribaththuduwa, demonstrating how renewable energy can be applied to community infrastructure. NSBM research also covers renewable energy, bioenergy, waste-to-energy and energy-efficient buildings.
