Operating on regasified liquefied natural gas (R-LNG), it will provide flexible, on-demand power to balance the variability of solar and
wind energy generation.By 2028, Sahasdhanavi and similar plants will fully transition from diesel to R-LNG, reducing fuel costs by
approximately 50%, significantly lowering emissions, and ensuring essential grid reliability as Sri Lanka expands its solar and wind
generation capacity
