| Project Description |
Under this project, following subprojects will be implemented with funding from Asian Development Bank:
The main components included in the project are
Parts 1 & 5
System Control Modernization Project
This will include construction of National System Control Centre and Communications SCADA System at Sri Jayawardanepura and Replacing of Earth Wire with Optical Ground Wire (OPGW) in around 1200 kms of Transmission Lines throughout the country.
Part 2A
Transmission System Strengthening Transmission Lines Project
132 kV transmission lines will be constructed in four different routes under this project. They are the GalleMatara, PuttalamMaho UkuwelaPallekelle lines and the interconnection line to Naula grid substation.
Contract was signed in August 2010 and the preliminary surveying, way leave clearing, and design reviewing works are in progress. Project is expected to be completed by end 2012.
Part 2B
Transmission System Strengthening Gridsubstations Project
Project was divided to three components based on the technical requirements. Lot A1 will augment the existing Kurunegala grid substations and Lot A3 will upgrade the Veyangoda Horana grid substations. Three new grid substations will be constructed at Naula, Maho Pallekelle under Lot A2 of the project.
Augmentation of existing grid substations at Habarana, Panadura, Matara, Puttalam Galle are also attached to Lot A2 component of the project.
Lot A2 contract was signed in November 2010 and expected to be completed in early 2013.
Part 3
Distribution Substation Augmentation Project
Part 4
Demand Side Management for Municipal Street Lighting
Part 6
Augmentation of Grid Substations for Absorption of Renewable Energy Project
Under this project with ADB funding, a new 132/33 kV grid substation will be constructed at Mahiyanganaya and the existing grid substations at Seethawaka, Balangoda, Badulla, Nuwara Eliya and Ukuwela will be augmented.
Government of Sri Lanka finances the balance work of this project. Under this phase, existing grid substations at Ratnapura, Wimalasurendra, and Rantambe will be augmented by increasing their transfer capacities. Further, a 132 kV transmission line of 21 km will also be constructed by connecting Rantambe and Mahiyanganaya grid substations.
Contract agreements for ADBfunded component and for GOSLfunded grid substation component were signed in August 2010 and November 2010 respectively. CEB has undertaken to construct the transmission line from Rantambe and Mahiyanganaya. Works of all components of the project are in progress and expected to completed the by end 2012. Once completed, much awaited capacity enhancements of existing grid substations to interconnect the mini hydro power plants will be achieved to great extent
Part 7
Transmission System Strengthening Eastern Province Project
New 100 km, 132 kV transmission line will be constructed from Habarana grid substation to Valachchenai grid substation under the Lot B of this project. Lot A covers the augmentation of Valachchenai and Ampara grid substations.
Lot B contract was signed in November 2010 and the Letter of Acceptance was issued to the selected contractor for Lot A in December 2010. Both components are expected to be completed in early 2013 and the quality durability of electricity supply to East will be considerably improved once the project is completed.
Part 8
Demand Side Management for Municipal Street Lighting
It is scheduled to complete the construction work within four years. |
