COLOMBO (News 1st): The Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) has planned to establish 7000 small scale solar power plants at the rural level, within the next four years, CEB officials said on Tuesday (Jan. 19).
100 MV of power generated through these solar power plants will be added to the National Grid as well, Engineer Vijitha Herath, the Chairman at the Ceylon Electricity Board said.
“The Ceylon Electricity Board has already recognized 7000 transformers, where within a 400-meter circumference of one transformer in a 50-60 perch land area, a 100-kilowatt solar power plant could be established,” CEB Chairman Vijitha Herath pointed out.
