Renewable Energy Development & Implementation
Project Name: Proposed Grid-Interactive 100 MW Solar
Photovoltaic Power Project in Trincomalee
Project Period: May 2023- April 2024
Client: Orbital Energy Private Limited
Project Funding Agency: Private Funding
Objective of the Project: The project aims to develop a 100 MW (peak) grid-interactive solar photovoltaic power plant in Trincomalee to generate clean, renewable electricity for supply to Sri Lanka’s national grid, supporting the country’s transition to sustainable energy. As the project area includes lands under the jurisdiction of the Department of Forest Conservation, an Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) was required. The objective of the assignment was to prepare the IEE report in accordance with the Terms of Reference (TOR) issued by the Forest Department, ensuring that the proposed development adheres to all relevant environmental regulations and safeguards.
General: EML Consultants prepared the IEE by evaluating project alternatives and studying baseline environmental and social conditions in the proposed project area. The team assessed the impacts of project activities on the surrounding environment and community and recommended practical mitigation measures. An extended cost-benefit analysis was also carried out. Finally, a comprehensive Environmental Management and Monitoring Programme was developed to manage and track environmental performance during all project stages. The IEE was prepared in accordance with the TOR issued by the Forest Department and aligned with national environmental requirements.
Project Name: Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for the Proposed 100 MW Solar Park in Siyambalanduwa and 132kV Transmission Line to Monaragala
Project Period: May 2019- August 2021
Client: Sri Lanka Sustainable Energy Authority (SLSEA)
Project Funding Agency: Government of Sri Lanka
Objective of the Project: To conduct a comprehensive Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) in accordance with the Forest Ordinance and national environmental regulations for the development of a 100 MW solar power park and associated 132kV transmission line from Siyambalanduwa to Monaragala. The project aims to support Sri Lanka’s national energy strategy by harnessing solar power using marginal lands and ensuring environmental sustainability through regulatory compliance.
General: As part of the Government of Sri Lanka’s strategy to expand the renewable energy sector and reduce reliance on fossil fuels, the Ministry of Power and Renewable Energy initiated a large-scale solar park development in the Monaragala District. The proposed project involves:
• A 100 MW solar park on approximately 500 acres of land managed by the Department of Forest Conservation (DFC) in Siyambalanduwa.
• Construction of a 132kV transmission line spanning approximately 25 km from Siyambalanduwa to Monaragala.
Due to the project’s location within forest land, it is subject to environmental scrutiny under the Forest Ordinance. Accordingly, the Forest Department required a full Environmental Impact Assessment to grant the necessary environmental clearance.
EML Consultants conducted the EIA by first defining the scope with the Forest Department and carrying out field surveys in the 500-acre project area and along the 25 km transmission line. The team assessed environmental, social, and ecological impacts during all project stages. They held consultations with local communities and authorities in Siyambalanduwa and Monaragala. Over 20 field visits were conducted, supported by lab tests and GIS analysis. Based on the findings, an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) was prepared with clear mitigation and monitoring measures. The final EIA report was submitted as per the Forest Department’s requirements, meeting all necessary standards.
