On September 20-21, CLDP conducted a workshop in coordination with the Ministry of Power and Renewable Energy (MoP) and the Public Utilities Commission of Sri Lanka (PUCSL) on Unsolicited Proposals.  Unsolicited proposals when used properly are a way for the private sector to propose innovative solutions to problems.  The workshop focused on how to implement the procedures at the agency level, and covered confidentiality policies, transparent evaluation procedures, and fair reimbursement of costs for an accepted proposal.  It was attended by participants from MoP, PUCSL, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, the Board of Investment, and a delegation from Nepal's power sector.  This is part of a multi-phase assistance project to South Asia on regional energy concerns.
