In pursuit of its ambitious goal to generate 70% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, Sri Lanka is actively inviting investments in the renewable energy sector.
With vast untapped potential in solar, wind, and hydro power, the country is focusing on establishing itself as a key player in the global shift toward sustainable energy.
Northern and eastern regions of the island have been earmarked as renewable energy zones, offering lucrative opportunities for development partners interested in wind, solar, and green hydrogen projects.
As part of this national initiative, the Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB), under the direction of the Cabinet Appointed Negotiating Committee, is calling for proposals for the development of two 50 MW wind farms.
The selected developers will be responsible for financing, designing, supplying, constructing, testing, commissioning, operating, and maintaining the wind farms on a Build-Own-Operate (BOO) basis over a 20-year term.
Interested parties can acquire the Request for Proposal (RFP) package, which consists of six volumes in DVD format, from the office of the Deputy General Manager (Renewable Energy Procurement & Performance Monitoring).
The documents will be available for purchase on working days from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM until June 5, 2025. A non-refundable fee of LKR 300,000 must be paid either in cash or via bank draft addressed to the General Manager, CEB.
For local applicants requesting courier delivery of the RFP, a written request along with the bank draft should be sent to the specified address. The CEB will not be held responsible for any delays or losses in courier delivery.
Overseas proponents may request the RFP by emailing [email protected] and providing proof of a bank transfer of USD 1,035 to the designated CEB foreign currency account. Upon confirmation of payment, the documents will be dispatched via courier. As with local deliveries, the CEB assumes no responsibility for courier-related issues.
This initiative reflects Sri Lanka’s strong commitment to transitioning toward a greener future and presents a timely opportunity for investors to contribute to and benefit from the country’s sustainable energy transformation.
