Who owns the Sri Lankan power system?
Hydropower is the main firm renewable source of generation in the Sri Lankan power system and it is mainly owned by CEB. However, other renewable sources such as mini hydro, wind, solar, dendro, and biomass are also connected to the system, majority of which are owned by the private sector developers.
Can coal power plants be adopted in Sri Lanka?
Studies done in other countries for certain generating technologies such as coal power plants cannot be straightaway adopted to Sri Lanka as coal plants operated in such countries are of much older technologies compared with the existing and future coal plants of Sri Lanka.
Is generation planning mandatory in Sri Lanka?
As stipulated in the Generation Planning code, it is mandatory to adhere to the duly approved government policy issued under section 5 of the Sri Lanka Electricity Act when conducting planning studies.
Does Sri Lanka have a solar energy park?
Preliminary studies are currently in progress both for the renewable energy park and associated transmission infrastructure. According to the initial assessments, the park will produce 250 MW wind power and 150 MW of solar PV generation. Sri Lanka, being located within the equatorial belt, has substantial potential in solar resource.
Where can a large scale development plan be implemented in Sri Lanka?
The Sri Lanka Sustainable Energy Authority has identified potential resource locations for large scale development in Trincomalee, Ampara, Monaragala, Batticaloa, Hambantota, Kurunegala, Puttalam and Anuradhapura areas to support a longer term large scale development plan.
