Sampur power project to be completed by 2017

Sri Lanka and India will ink the much awaited 500 MW coal power project in Sampur in the Trincomalee district, this week, Power and Energy Ministry sources said.

The power plant will be operated by Trincomalee Power Corporation, a joint venture between the Ceylon Electricity Board and India's National Thermal Power Corporation. The discussion on this project was started in 2005 during President Mahinda Rajapaksa's official visit to India. The project was delayed due to long discussions over technical parameters and power purchase agreement. Construction work will be launched within one year of signing the agreements and will be completed by 2017.

Two, 250 MW coal power generators will be installed and a transmission line will be drawn from Sampur to Veyangoda to connect the power supply to the national grid.

The project will significantly enhance the generation capacity of the CEB and enable it to reduce average generation cost of a unit.
