Vidullanka adds 2 MW to national grid with Horana Solar Power Plant
View(s):Vidullanka PLC last week announced the commissioning of the 2 MW solar plant, constructed by its subsidiary Vidul Solar Power (Pvt) Ltd. This marks the successful completion of the second phase of the Horana Solar Project. The new facility has an AC capacity of 2 MW and a DC capacity of 2.5 MW, with the ability to export approximately 3.6 GWh of clean energy annually to the national grid, the company said in a media release.
This milestone brings Vidullanka’s total portfolio to 23 operational power plants with a combined installed capacity of 63 MW, further cementing the company’s position as a leading force in Sri Lanka’s renewable energy sector.
This plant serves as the 2nd phase of the Horana Solar Project. The 1st phase was awarded under the Government’s 150 MW tender and upon its commission in June 2023, it became one of the only two projects in the programme to reach completion, along with Vavunathivu Solar, another project co-developed by Vidullanka.
Speaking at the inauguration ceremony, Vidullanka’s CEO Riyaz Sangani emphasised on the importance of self-reliance on resources in the country’s energy sector. “Sri Lanka is rich in its own indigenous renewable resources. Harnessing them is vital for our nation’s energy security. It is imperative to the future of Sri Lanka’s energy security that we recognise the value of the resources that Sri Lanka is rich in and the power that can be drawn on to energise the country,” he said.
This plant is the second project the company has commissioned during the last two months and work at two other power plants is in progress at an expedited phase to commission before the year end.
Vidullanka PLC is a leading renewable energy developer with a diversified portfolio of hydro, solar, dendro and international energy projects. In addition, Vidullanka operates its own power plants in Sri Lanka and Uganda, also undertaking the operations of two mini hydro power plants in Guyana as well.
