How has the economic crisis affected the power sector in Sri Lanka?
However, the current economic crisis has affected all key segments of the economy, including the power sector. Electricity in Sri Lanka is generated using three primary sources: thermal power (which includes coal and fuel oil), hydropower, and other non-conventional renewable energy sources (solar power and wind power).
Is there a power shortage in Sri Lanka?
Currently CEB engineers estimates of shortage in base power is 300MW. The CEB had commenced purchasing emergency thermal power to sustain supply. Sri Lanka experienced significant power outages in due to the economic crisis and lack of forex to purchase oil and coal to operate plants.
Does Sri Lanka have solar energy?
Sri Lanka has vast solar-wind-energy resources due to its location in the Indian Ocean. Eleven wind power plants are currently connected to the national grid. USAID has assessed wind and solar energy potential for Sri Lanka. This information is available at www.nrel.gov.
Does Sri Lanka have a good grid connection?
Sri Lanka has already achieved a grid connectivity of 98 percent, which is relatively high by South Asian standards. However, the current economic crisis has affected all key segments of the economy, including the power sector.
