The construction of floating solar power plants on a number of significant reservoirs under the Mahaweli Authority’s management has received approval from the government. The reservoirs at Randenigala, Moragahakanda, and Kalawewa have been determined to be the best sites for the effort after thorough feasibility assessments.
An important part of ensuring the viability of the solar installations in these places was the studies carried out by the Mahaweli Authority, which is in charge of these reservoirs.
