By Maheesha Mudugamuwa The State Ministry of Solar, Wind, and Grid Power Generation Projects Development is to call for tenders to construct the first-ever 100 MW solar power park in Siyambalanduwa, Monaragala in November, The Sunday Morning learnt. Accordingly, the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is currently ongoing and will be completed in two months. State Minister Duminda Dissanayake told The Sunday Morning that the documentation work is to be completed in two months, after which the Ministry would call for tenders. “The funding for the project is not yet finalised and we will go for an open tender. We have not yet decided whether we will go for a government-to-government project or not,” Dissanayake said. Cabinet approval had been granted to construct the solar park in 2016 but it had been delayed since then. In parallel to the solar park construction, another transmission line project will also be implemented, Dissanayake added. Meanwhile, Asian Development Bank (ADB) is currently evaluating the technical possibility of whether the tenders should be called for 100 MW at once, as four 25 MW plants, or 10 x 10 MW plants, the State Minister added.
