Rooftop solar project at the Coca-Cola Beverages Sri Lanka Ltd. manufacturing plant in Biyagama

Coca-Cola Beverages Sri Lanka Ltd. (CCBSL) won the award for the ‘Iconic Rooftop Solar Project of the Year’ at the Annual Solar Awards 2021 hosted by EQ at the occasion of the PV Invest Tech Sri Lanka in Colombo recently.

The award was presented in recognition of CCBSL’s significant contribution of installing one of the largest single location rooftop solar projects in the country at its facility in Biyagama, the company said in a media release.

The mega installation was a part of CCBSL’s pledge towards sourcing renewable energy and contributing to combating climate change. The project showcased a significant investment of over Rs.200 million and comprised the installation of over 5,000 solar panels covering as much as 80 per cent of the roof at its premises. This capacity enhancement enables CCBSL to generate 2,733 MWh/yr of renewable energy to contribute to the national grid and is expected to produce 1.9 Mw of electricity. It’s also expected to reduce the company’s carbon emissions by approximately 1.94 MT per annum.

Manoharan Nadarajah – Director-Supply Chain of CCBSL said, “We, at CCBSL are humbled that our efforts towards renewable energy generation have been recognised as the best of its kind in the country. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to our partners, Hayleys Fentons Solar and the Ceylon Electricity Board for supporting our commitment towards sustainable manufacturing.”

This mega rooftop solar installation, while powering the company towards achieving carbon neutrality status in due course, will also contribute towards the country’s power generation needs through much-needed renewable electricity to the national grid.
