LAUGFS Power commissions 2 MW mini hydro plant
LAUGFS Power commissions 2 MW mini hydro plant in Ginigathhena, strengthening Sri Lanka’s renewable energy capacity and supporting the country’s long-term transition toward sustainable electricity generation. LAUGFS Power commissions 2 MW mini hydro plant in Ginigathhena LAUGFS Power PLC has expanded its renewable energy portfolio after successfully commissioning and connecting a 2 MW mini hydro power facility in Polpitiya, Ginigathhena to Sri Lanka’s national grid. The company said the project was officially commissioned on 26 March, while the commissioning process was formally acknowledged by National System Operator Ltd. on 29 April. The development marks another step forward in the country’s efforts to strengthen renewable electricity generation and reduce dependence on imported fossil fuels. According to the company, the project was developed and implemented through PAMS Power Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of LAUGFS Power. The plant is expected to generate clean electricity for the national grid while contributing to Sri Lanka’s broader sustainability and energy diversification targets. The commissioning comes at a time when Sri Lanka continues to prioritise renewable energy expansion as part of its long-term energy strategy. Authorities have increasingly encouraged investments in renewable energy Sri Lanka projects, particularly in hydro, solar, and wind power, to improve energy security and reduce exposure to volatile global fuel prices. Industry analysts note that mini hydro projects continue to play a critical role in the country’s renewable energy mix due to Sri Lanka’s favourable geographical conditions and river networks. While large-scale hydropower remains a major contributor to the national grid, smaller hydro facilities have become increasingly important in supporting decentralised electricity generation and improving grid stability. The newly commissioned plant in Ginigathhena is expected to add further capacity to the country’s clean energy infrastructure. Energy sector observers say projects of this nature also help diversify power generation sources while supporting the government’s long-term carbon reduction objectives. The mini hydro power project also reflects continued private sector participation in Sri Lanka’s energy transition. Several listed energy companies have expanded investments in renewable generation over recent years amid growing demand for sustainable power solutions and policy support for non-fossil fuel ener...
