Sri Lankan Gas Gen Plans Move Ahead
The Public Utilities Commission of Sri Lanka (PUCSL) has approved the signing of a power purchase agreement for the 300-MW gas-fired Kerawalapitiya power plant, near Colombo,
Lanka Business Online reported.
The agreement will be signed by the Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) and private firm Lakdhanavi. Initially, the plant will run on diesel until supplies of LNG can be obtained. Sri Lanka does not produce any gas of its own, but two discoveries were made in the Mannar basin in 2011 and were subsequently relinquished.
