1 Country Presentation Present & Future of Power Generation of Sri Lanka 18 th 22 nd July 2011, Hydrovision Conference, Sacramento, California W.R. Asanka Perera Deputy General Manager Mahaweli Hydro Power Complex Ceylon Electricity Board Sri Lanka

2 Sri Lanka Located in the Indian Ocean to the south of Indian sub-continent Latitude 5-10 N Longitude E 65, 525 km 2 Tropical climate :

3 Economic and electricity related indicators for Sri Lanka Mid year population (millions) GDP per capita (USD/person) 1,030 1, GDP real growth rate (%) Access to electricity (%) Installed Capacity (MW) Maximum Demand (MW) Electrical Energy Generation (GWh) System Energy Losses (%) Per Capita Elec. Consumption (kwh/person)

4 Importance of hydro to Sri Lanka Only Source of indigenous energy in appropriate size Lowest cost generation

5 Road map for presentation Hydro potential and development up to now Changing role of hydro power in Sri Lankan power system Future development directions Problems experienced Government policy on hydro development

6 Hydro potential and development up to now

7 Potential and development Potential Available 2000 MW Developed 1207 MW Historical Development First project proposal by local engineer D.J. Wimalsurendra Construction of Laxapana started Laxapana stage I (3 x 8.33 MW) commissioned

8 First hydro power plant in Sri Lanka Laxapana project started in 1940 s Completed in 1950

9 Sri Lankan river basin system and hydro power stations Four major river basins Kelani Mahaweli Kalu Walawe MANNAR JAFFNA VAVNIYA ANURADHAPURA HABARANA TRINCOMALEE No. HYDROPOWER PLANT CAPACITY (MW) 1 CANYON 60 2 WIMALASURENDRA 50 3 NEW LAXAPANA OLD LAXAPANA 50 5 POLPITIYA 75 6 KOTMALE VICTORIA RANDENIGALA RANTAMBE UKUWELA BOWATENNA SAMANALAWEWA UDAWALAWE INGINIYAGALA NILAMBE KUKULE UPPER KOTMALE BROADLANDS x UMA OYA X MORAG0LLA X GINGANGA X 49 POLONNARUWA BOWATENNA 11 COLOMBO BOLAWATTA KOTUGODA KURUNEGALA 10 UKUWELA 15 VICTORIA KOTMALE 14 LEGEND EXISTING PLANTS CANDIDATES PLANTS COMMITTED PLANTS X BADULLA BALANGODA12 19 WELLAWAYA HAMBANTOTA MATARA

20 Changing role of hydro power in Sri Lankan power system

21 Hydro component of system energy demand : Present, future Annual energy demand ( ) Energy demand forecast ( ) Annual energy / (GWh) Thermal Hydro Energy demand / (GWh) From other sources Hydro Year energy demand (10714 GWh ) - installed capacity (2818 MW) average wet year approx 1/2 energy demand very wet year (5661 GWh) cannot meet the energy demand ii Year

22 The changing role for Hydro Generation Past Supply total peak demand energy demand Present Future Peak demand supplier Economic regulator Frequency controller

23 Hydro and thermal installed capacity INSTALLED CAPACITY HYDRO(GWh) THERMAL(GWh)

24 Sri Lankan power system Total Capacity 2818 MW Hydro 1207 MW Thermal 548 MW Wind 3 MW IPP Thermal 567 MW IPP small Hydro 86 MW

25 Future development directions

26 Future Developments Hydro potential available 2000 MW More than 50 % already developed Remaining potential Gin Ganga 49 MW Broadlands 35 MW Uma Oya 150 MW Moragolla 27 MW

27 Another option Expansion of existing hydro power plants Especially for peaking duty Some candidates Victoria (stage II) 3 x 70 MW Smanalawewa stage II 2 x 60 MW New laxapana 72.5 MW Polpitiya 23.2 MW

28 Mini/Micro hydro development Master plan study (1988) 80 MW (200 sites) 8 MW from irrigation tanks Intermediate Technology Development group study (1999) Estimated another exploitable small hydro potential of 100 MW 250 sites

29 Mini/Micro hydro development First Grid connected mini hydro plant in MW (48 sites) connected by April GWh supplied by mini hydro plants in 2005 (= to 3% of total electricity generated)
