The Solar Samanalaya project in Hambantota combines 50MW solar with 20MWh battery storage – reducing diesel use by 40% during evening peak hours. Or take the quirky case of a Galle hotel that powers its ACs using old EV batteries. Talk about upcycling! [pdf]
Sri Lanka's electrical energy storage landscape isn't just about batteries and power grids – it's a survival story. With 80% of its electricity currently coming from renewables (mainly hydropower), the country faces a peculiar paradox: too much water in monsoon season, not enough in dry months. [pdf]
Sri Lanka's electricity demand is currently met by nine thermal power stations, fifteen large hydroelectric power stations, and fifteen wind farms, with a smaller share from small hydro facilities and other renewables such as solar. Most hydroelectric and thermal/fossil fuel–based power stations in the country are owned and/or operated by the government via the state-run Ceylon Electricity. Non-renewableAs of 2015, 1,464 MW of the total thermal installed capacity was from state-owned power stations: 900 MW from , 380 MW from the state-owned portion of , 160 MW from .
Hydroelectricity has played a very significant role in the national installed power capacity since it was introduced in the 1950s, with over 50% of the total grid capacity met by in 2000–2010. .

The project establishes Sri Lanka’s largest non-government-funded battery energy storage system (BESS), powered by solar photovoltaic (PV) technology. The Battery Commissioning Event took place on 24th of July 2024 at the Watch Tower Sri Lanka headquarters. [pdf]
Sri Lanka has started building its largest renewable project, a $140 million, 100 MW solar park with 12 MWh of storage. It is expected to annually generate 219 GWh and cut $69.7 million in diesel imports by 2027. Image: President of Sri Lanka's Media Divison [pdf]
Irish state-owned utility ESB on Friday inaugurated a 150-MW/300-MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) at its Aghada site in County Cork as part of its EUR-300-million (USD 317m) investment in battery projects at sites in Dublin and Cork. Author: Portland General Electric. [pdf]
Zambia is seeking US$11.6 billion in investments by 2030 to expand electricity generation and meet the country’s growing energy demand, authorities have revealed. Of this amount, US$9.5 billion is expected to be mobilised from private sector sources under the Mission 300 initiative. [pdf]
