dc.description.abstract The ceramic industry is a highly energy intensive industry in Sri Lanka. In meeting its daily rated out put of nearly 34,000m2 which is growing at a steady rate, the ceramic factories consume a sizable chunk from the total industrial energy, both thermal and electrical, in this country. Their energy bills account for one third of the total production cost. In comparison to other ceramic manufacturing countries such as India, Indonesia, Malaysia and Italy, out cost of energy is excessively high. The unfortunate consequence is that the Sri Lankan ceramic products find it very difficult to compete in price, both in local and foreign markets. en_US
