The government of Sri Lanka has entered into a power purchase agreement (PPA) with Australian firm United Solar Group (USG) for a major floating solar power (FPV) and storage project. The country's Minister of Power and Energy Kanchana Wijesekera announced the PPA on X, formerly known as Twitter, yesterday (12 December).
“The Solar power project will be installed on the surface of the Poonakary Tank in the Killinochi District, with a Foreign Direct Investment of US$1.727 billion.” This project will be a major boost for Sri Lanka's renewables installed capacity, which already comes 59% from renewables – 25% of solar PV – as of 2022.
