These stations will be constructed in Mannar and Pooneryn.
Both parties have signed a 20-year power purchase agreement, with the Sri Lankan government agreeing to pay the company 8.26 cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh) of electricity. This project marks a significant step in expanding Adani Green Energy’s footprint in the renewable energy sector across the region.
