The U.S. Geological Survey lists Sri Lanka as having no domestic coal production.[1] The International Energy Agency states that in 2007 approximately 60% of electricity production was from iil-fired plants with the bulk of the rest from hydro capacity. Very minor amount of electricity were generated from wind and solar PV.[2]
