Hayleys Solar has successfully completed an 800kW rooftop solar installation for London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) in Sri Lanka, marking a significant advancement in the country’s corporate renewable energy landscape.
Delivered within just two months, the project spans six buildings and incorporates 1,412 high-efficiency solar panels. The system is expected to generate approximately 1,250 MWh of clean energy annually, meeting nearly 80% of LSEG’s daytime electricity demand. It is also projected to reduce carbon emissions by around 850 tonnes per year—equivalent to removing nearly 185 petrol-powered vehicles from the roads or planting over 14,000 mature trees.
The installation involved complex engineering challenges, including extensive underground cabling across an operational corporate site. Despite these constraints, Hayleys Solar completed the project with a zero-accident record, maintaining stringent safety and operational standards throughout.
Commenting on the milestone, CEO Roshane Perera emphasised the importance of partnering with ESG-focused organisations to accelerate Sri Lanka’s energy transition. LSEG’s Site Lead in Malabe, Feroz Cader, noted that the initiative reflects the Group’s ongoing commitment to sustainability and responsible global operations.
