EFL logistics helps hybrid project
View(s):Expo Lanka Freight Pvt Ltd (EFL) – Project Division recently completed the first critical delivery phase of a transformative US$11 million Solar Hybrid Energy Project for three remote islands off the Jaffna Peninsula, in collaboration with U Solar India and with generous assistance from the Government of India.
The project, which targets the islands of Delft, Nainativu, and Analativu, is set to revolutionise daily life by replacing costly, high-maintenance diesel generators with a clean hybrid energy solution combining solar, battery, and wind power, EFL said in a media release.
EFL’s mission was no simple task. The logistics required an innovative blend of land-sea-land transport to deliver a total of 105 solar module pallets across the three islands — 43 each to Nainativu and Delft, and 19 to Analativu. With narrow roads, overhanging branches, and entangled power lines on the islands, maneuvering these massive shipments required surgical precision and relentless determination.
Adding to the challenge, much of the offloading had to be done at night, in the absence of electricity — the very problem the project is designed to solve. Treacherous sea conditions further complicated the final leg to Delft, threatening delays and potential damage to the sensitive equipment.
The renewable energy systems now being installed will provide reliable electricity to thousands of residents across the three islands — a first in their history. “This is a lifeline for underserved communities, and a testament to what hybrid logistics can achieve in even the most demanding environments,” said the General Manager of EFL Project Cargo Division, Mohomed Niyas.
