LAUGFS Power PLC said it has successfully commissioned and connected a 2 MW mini hydro power plant in Polpitiya, Ginigathhena to the national grid, expanding the company’s renewable energy portfolio.
The company said the plant was commissioned on 26 March, with the commissioning formally acknowledged by National System Operator Ltd., on 29 April.
According to LAUGFS Power, the project was developed and implemented through PAMS Power Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the company.
The company said the mini hydro facility is expected to generate renewable energy for supply to the national grid and contribute towards Sri Lanka’s renewable energy and sustainability targets.
Mini hydro projects remain a key component of Sri Lanka’s renewable energy mix as the country seeks to increase non-fossil fuel power generation capacity and reduce reliance on thermal power imports.
