Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, a tender is currently floated and in progress for two 50 MW wind plants at Mullikulam (total 100 MW); price bids are being received. Additionally, for the Mannar wind plant expansion of 234 MW, preliminary approvals are being readied. For the Pooneryn wind plant of 250 MW, the feasibility study is completed, and we are working on necessary transmission facilities. These too will be brought to tender. Besides, we have called for feasibility studies for projects such as at Cherapachchil and a few others; they are not mature enough to announce details now. However, within this year we plan to call tenders for around 400 MW.
