Hambantota Wind Farm
The Hambantota Wind Farm is the first and only wind power plant in Sri Lanka. The farm is located near the south-eastern coast of Hambantota, and consists of five NEG Micon M1500-600 wind turbines, measuring 600KW each. With a nameplate capacity of 3MW, and an approximate annual generation capacity of 4500 MWh, this plant stretches to about 1,500 km2 (580 sq mi) in size. The cost of this project was LKR280 million (1999 rates), of which 34% were local funds and 66% were foreign funds. The foreign funds consists of funds from the Global Environmental Facility and the World Bank. The project was commissioned in 1999, of which studies of developing this project dated as early as 1988. The project is now owned by the Ceylon Electricity Board.
