July 04, Colombo: Sri Lanka government is planning to complete the construction of its second wind power plant in Kalpitiya by the end of this year.

Sri Lanka Sustainable Energy Authority said they expect to generate 10 megawatts of power by this plant after the operations are commenced.

In Sri Lanka the next best natural resource after the hydro power is the wind as there is a good flow of Monsoon winds across the country.

The first wind power plant is already operational in Hambantota District generating about 3 megawatts.
