Ceylon Energy a strategic alliance of St. Theresa Industries, in collaboration with Qingdao Huijintong Power Equipment Co. Ltd. (HJT) - China, has initiated the tower stringing phase of the “Supporting Electricity Supply Reliability Improvement Project” (SESRIP - P4).

This project marks a significant milestone, furthering Ceylon Energy’s commitment to delivering stable electricity to more than 400,000 consumers while enhancing loss reduction benefits and expanding solar and wind energy collection points across Sri Lanka.

Funded by the Asian Development Bank, this project aims to satisfy the improvement efforts of the Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB), covering tower lines totalling a length of 300 kilometers, with 1,238 total towers.

Ceylon Energy Founder and CEO Madushanka Fernando said: “With the commencement of the SESRIP-P4 project’s tower stringing phase, we are taking a significant step towards realising our commitment to providing reliable electricity to the people of Sri Lanka. We believe that sustainable and innovative solutions will shape the future of the energy sector. This project is a testament to our dedication to quality, sustainability, and a brighter, more electrified tomorrow.”

This phase, which began on 20 October signifies a crucial step toward achieving the project’s goals of ensuring a reliable electricity supply for a large number of consumers, reducing energy losses, and establishing sustainable energy collection points.

Looking ahead, Ceylon Energy is committed to completing the SESRIP-P4 project by the end of March 2024. This achievement will not only provide a stable electricity supply to a substantial number of consumers but also expand the network of solar and wind energy collection points, contributing to a more sustainable and reliable energy future.
