Even though Sri Lanka is endowed with a variety of renewable energy resources, there is a lack of energy security, and is failing to provide an uninterrupted energy supply at affordable prices to the
The Government began construction of the country''s largest renewable energy project—the ''Rividanavi'' Solar Power Park on Saturday (6), under the patronage of President Anura

This paper will first summarise few relevant projects for energy production using solar energy for Sri Lanka. Amongst these projects, the "Solar Village" will be the main focus of this paper.
In collaboration with the UK charity Hela Sarana, APSL established its first solar village in Nochchiya, Kurunegala district. A 6kW solar roof was installed feeding energy into the national grid.
In addition to the solar power park, a new 132 kV transmission system stretching 27 kilometres will be constructed to connect the generated electricity to the grid.
In addition to the solar power park, a new 132 kV transmission system stretching 27 kilometres will be constructed to connect the generated electricity to the grid.
Concentrated solar power (CSP), uses mirrors to concentrate solar rays. These rays heat fluid, which is run through a heat exchanger to create steam to drive a turbine and generate electricity.
In addition to the solar park, the project includes a 12 MWh battery storage facility to help maintain the stability of the national grid. A new 27-km, 132 kV transmission line will also be
Siyambalanduwa, Monaragala – Construction of Sri Lanka''s largest renewable energy project, the “Rividhanavi” Solar Power Park in Siyambalanduwa, officially commenced this morning
