Construction of 2 ×100 Mw Floating Solar Power Plants on the Water Surface Samanalawewa Reservoir on Least Cost Basis (EOI)
The project’s significance lies in its potential to enhance energy diversification and grid stability by introducing a clean and sustainable energy source that operates during daylight hours. It further emphasizes the efficient utilization of the Samanalawewa Reservoir, allowing it to serve as a dual-purpose energy resource—sustaining hydroelectric power generation during peak hours while harnessing solar energy to meet daytime energy demands.
The project proponent shall have sole responsibility for the design, construction, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of the floating solar power plant in the water surface of Samanalaweva Reservoir. This includes all activities related to the power plant’s infrastructure, equipment, and facilities. Additionally, the project proponent shall be responsible for the supply and management of all equipment specific to the floating solar power plant, including photovoltaic panels, floating platform structures, mooring systems, inverters, and associated electrical systems.
The envisaged contract period will be for 20 years.
One project proponent can submit only one proposal for 100 MW capacity.
