The country's only refinery is also inefficient and operates due to tax difference between imported refined products and domestically made fuel.The CEB's finances have already been hit by purchasing liquid fuel fired power.The report also said a liquefied natural gas fire 500Mega Watt power plant which could be expanded to 1000MW was also planned for Hambantota by China Machinery and Engineering Corporation.Hambantota port which was built with a Chinese loan is also expecting investment from China Merchant Holdings.Sri Lanka has been identified as a 'Silk Road' station on China's One Belt One Road initiative.
