Expressions of Interest (EOIs) are due to be called for projects pertaining to the construction of a floating solar photovoltaic power plant on the Samanalawewa Reservoir, Minister of Power and Energy Kanchana Wijesekera stated.Accordingly, EOIs will be called from both domestic and international developers, for the construction of two floating solar power plants, with each generating 100 Megawatts of power.The Cabinet of Ministers on Monday (23 Oct.) approved a proposal submitted by the Ministry of Power and Energy to call for resolutions for the construction and execution of the proposed solar power plants from those who are interested in following the national procurement guidelines applicable to the implementation of infrastructure facility projects.The relevant approval was given upon the realization of the fact that the construction of floating solar power plants on the surface of reservoirs to generate solar power is a much more appropriate remedy for countries with limited land.Thus, it was decided that approximately 100 hectares of the Samanalawewa Reservoir, which is under the purview of the Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB),would be used for the construction of a floating solar power plant.
