In an ambitious drive towards supporting sustainable development, E. B. Creasy Solar has once again demonstrated its commitment to environmental stewardship and technological innovation. Accordingly, the company recently completed a landmark project in the Nikaveratiya area, in partnership with the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), utilising cutting-edge German Lorentz solar-powered water pumps.

This project is set to revolutionise water accessibility, for both irrigation and consumption, promising to pump an astounding 1 million Litres of water per day, powered entirely by solar energy without using fuel or grid electricity. Amidst fluctuating economic conditions and rising costs of fuel and electricity, these pumps will help ensure that farmers will have consistent access to water, affordably.

Accordingly, this initiative is helping to transform the lives of farmers in Nikaveratiya, a key agricultural region, who have faced significant challenges due to water scarcity. The project aims to provide water to 90% of the farmers in the village, marking a significant milestone in their journey towards sustainable agriculture. By harnessing the power of the sun, E. B. Creasy Solar is also helping to promote sustainable prosperity and environmentally friendly agricultural practices in the region.

Furthermore, E. B. Creasy Solar’s commitment goes beyond the initial implementation of the project, as the company has pledged to offer technical support and maintenance services, at no cost to the farmers. This generous act underscores E. B. Creasy Solar’s dedication to community service and corporate social responsibility, ensuring the long-term success and sustainability of the project.

Each project showcases the company’s ability to deliver innovative solutions that meet the needs of both people and the planet.
