Panasian Power PLC yesterday said it has successfully connected a 5 MW ground-mounted solar power project at Baddegama, Galle, to the national grid, marking the completion of the last project under a batch of seven solar plants that entered into power purchase agreements in the third quarter of 2024.

The company said the project was connected to the Galle Grid Substation on 30 December 2025 and has commenced revenue generation through a subsidiary of Panasian Power PLC.

The Baddegama plant adds 5 MW of alternating current capacity, equivalent to 6.76 MWp of installed DC capacity, to the national grid. Panasian Power noted that this is the final 5 MW ground-mounted solar project to be connected to the grid under the relevant PPA framework.

The company said the testing and commissioning of the project represents a key milestone in its renewable energy development strategy, while also supporting Sri Lanka’s efforts to expand renewable energy capacity.

The project utilises Longi bifacial N-type solar photovoltaic modules with a capacity of 615 watts and fixed-tilt technology. Panasian Power said the DC capacity has been optimised to ensure an efficient AC/DC design ratio and maximise energy generation from available solar resources.

The share price of Panasian Power closed 40 cents up yesterday at Rs. 23.40.
