Cabinet approval granted to construct a 100MW floating solar power station in the Maduru Oya reservoir
Cabinet approval was granted this week to establish a joint venture with the Canadian Solar Institute to implement a 100MW floating solar power station in the Maduru Oya Reservoir and to appoint a steering committee to conduct negotiations in this regard.
The scheme was first proposed in 2017 by the Canadian Government and will now be developed through a joint venture with the Canadian Solar Institute.
The proposal was put forward as a joint proposal to Cabinet by President Sirisena in his capacity as the Minister of Mahaweli Development and Environment and Minister of Power and Energy Ravi Karunanayake.
"This project will be carried out with the assistance of the Mahaweli Development Authority and the Ceylon Electricity Board," Mnister Karunanayake told Times Online.
