Uma Oya Hydro Power Plant to add 120 MW to national grid: Minister

Private owned Power generation lots to blame Tuesday, 23 April 2024 11:22 PM

Private MiniHydro and rooftop solar are completely against government success with cheaper new power sources by CEB. Oya Hydro generation costs will be next to nothing then the amount government values the private generators supplied power will go down. Rooftop solar Mafia hold over government has to be ended with new large scale power plants.

The protests were all done by NPP, their destructive activities had caused the country to loose Billions of Dollars and the alleged money robbed by politicians is much less than the loss from destructive activities. Even if they come to power , the corruption by those in power will continue probably at a larger scale.

Have you thought about the environmental costs? Have you thoroughly studied the site Geology/ Geotechnical limitations so that the project does not becomes a failure like many others before it under Mahaweli Development? For Pete's sake do not think of the 10% cut!

Why not tell the public power plants do not operate at name plate capacity? Just because it has 120 MW, doesn't mean it will at least produce half of that.
