Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) has issued an Invitation for Expressions of Interest (EOI) to seek potential project proponents for the construction of two 100 MW floating solar photovoltaic (PV) power plants. These innovative projects will be established on the water surface of the Samanalaweva Reservoir on a least-cost basis.
The proposal seeks to harness the potential of this waterbody for renewable energy generation. The EOI invites interested parties to express their interest in taking on the responsibility of designing, constructing, commissioning, operating, and maintaining the floating solar power plants. The scope of work encompasses all aspects related to the infrastructure, equipment, and facilities of the power plants.
This includes the supply and management of all equipment specific to the floating solar power plants, such as photovoltaic panels, floating platform structures, mooring systems, inverters, and associated electrical systems. The intention is to have two separate 100 MW projects that will contribute clean energy to the national grid.
The successful proponent will be entrusted with the development and operation of these projects. The deadline for submitting proposals is set for December 13, 2023, at 10:00 Hrs. It is important to note that any proposals received after this stipulated time will not be accepted, irrespective of the reasons for their tardiness.
This initiative signifies CEB’s commitment to expanding its renewable energy portfolio and taking advantage of innovative solar power solutions to meet the energy demands of Sri Lanka while promoting sustainability and reducing carbon emissions.
