Resus Energy connects 5.0 MW Solar PV power plant to national grid
View(s):Resus Energy PLC, a forerunner in renewable energy, recently connected a 5.0MW ground mounted solar PV power plant to the national grid. Built at a cost of over Rs. 750 million with state-of-the-art equipment encompassing tier-1 solar PV panels and top-of-the-range auxiliary equipment, the plant is expected to generate about 10 million units of electricity (10 GWh) annually, the company said in a media release.
Located in Damana, in the Ampara District, the power plant is connected to the Ampara grid substation. Along with existing 3MW operational power plants, Resus Energy now feeds 8MW in aggregate to the Ampara grid substation, expanding its footprint in rural electrification. The development rights of these projects were secured from the government’s Soorya Balasangramaya tender, floated to procure 90 x 1MW Solar PV projects. This is Resus Energy’s third solar PV site to date. Together with its first sites in Siyambalanduwa and Mahiyanganaya, Resus Energy now supplies 15 MW of solar power to the national grid.
Resus Energy operates 11 utility-scale power plants across the country with a total 30MW capacity and an annual energy generation of nearly 75GWh.
“This project comes at a pivotal time when it is essential for us to expand our renewable energy portfolio. It is also aligned with meeting the government’s 70 per cent renewable energy generation target by 2030”, said Kishan Nanayakkara, Managing Director, Resus Energy.
