Southern Coal Power Project
{{#badges:CoalSwarm|Template:Navbar-SriLankacoal}}The Southern Coal Power Project was a study conducted by the government of Sri Lanka and the Ceylon Electricity Board of potential locations and sponsors for 1200 megawatts (MW) of new coal-fired generating capacity on the southern and western coast of Sri Lanka. The project was abandoned.
Background
In 1988 the government of Sri Lanka and the Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) invited Expressions of Interested from international firms to develop, build, and operate four coal-fired generating units of 300 MW on a build-own-operate (BOO) basis. CEB identified locations near Karagan, Lewaya, Mirijjawala, Mirssaand, and Mawalla as prospective sites on the southern coast, and Athuruwella on the Western Coast. The process did not continue. However, the Mawella site remained a candidate for further study.[1]
