Commissioning of Transmission line linking National Grid to the south tomorrow

News

The transmission line linking the Southern Province with the National Grid will be commissioned tomorrow.

The project was delayed following a dispute with the landowners of a tea estate at Siripagama in Ratnapura as they objected over the line running over the estate.

However, an agreement was reached with the owners following a discussion with the Public Utilities Commission of Sri Lanka and the Ceylon Electricity Board on August 11.

The 150km transmission line for 220 KW connecting the southern province had come to a stop in the last 3 months due to the dispute over the government valuation for a 650-meter stretch of land, the lines are connected through. However, the owners finally agreed not to accept any compensation.

The commissioning will take place at 9.37 am.
