Ceylon
Electricity Board (CEB) announced that the electricity
generation of the newly constructed 300 megawatt Kerawalapitiya
thermal power plant will commence on November 30.
The
power house will begin to generate 200 megawatts this
year and will expand to 300 megawatts within a year.
The
price of an electric unit generated in Kerawalapitiya
plant is estimated at 20 rupees. Sri Lanka's electricity
demand is growing by 8% annually and the CEB decided to
construct the Kerawalapitiya plant to tally with the demand.
