Sri Lanka consumers warned on impending ‘electric shock’ after coal plant scrapping
ECONOMYNEXT – Sri Lanka’s power consumers, who are already paying high prices will have to shell out even more in the future, after a cheap coal plant which was about to be built was scrapped, engineers at state-run Ceylon Electricity Board has warned.
CEB is now generating coal power at about 4.36 rupees a unit, and the next cheapest source of thermal power from residual oil costs about 17.80 rupees a unit, CEB Engineers Union said, making a gap of about 13.44 rupees.
In August 2016 Sri Lanka is generated about 48 percent of total energy or 566 million units of electricity (GigaWatthours) from coal creating a potential saving of about 7,600 billion rupees a month on a conservative estimate. READ MORE…

Costly short-circuit at Sampur
Criticism is an opportunity for correction; Britain just revoked its stop order on the 3200MW, GBP 18 billion, Hinckley Point C nuclear power station. It will be tougher in Lanka due to multiple pressures, some reasonable, some naïve, others venal. The government has no clue what it is doing and is in a muddle. Following last week’s piece on principles of planning I will devote this one to current concerns; next week’s finale will be on sector restructuring. READ MORE…

Norochcholai was the first such power plant. READ MORE…
