Wind could solve energy crisis in Sri Lanka

• A few years ago, while touring California I was stunned to see the wind farm at Altamont Pass near Livermore, California.
• I saw hundreds of turbines turning out energy for the national grid.
• It beat me as to why we in Sri Lanka, with so much of mountains blessed with ample wind power, even blowing our cars off roads; have given no thought to wind power.
• I have also toured through Myanmar recently and found the country rolling in blackouts due to the lack of energy supplies like Sri Lanka.
• In 2002, power cuts were 2.5 hours a day but it is reported that because in hydro power schemes the water level was at 21% of capacity, power cuts may have to be increased to as much as 6 hours a day.
• The levelized cost of energy from wind turbines in 1993 was 7.5 cents per kiloWatt hour.
• This is too high a cost perhaps due to construction models and methods.
• It could be surmised that if there had been more wind power and turbines of a larger capacity had been installed the amount of power generated would be far more.
• It is hoped that this Report will be an eye opener to the authorities in charge of Power and Energy in Sri Lanka and Myanmar to take action as appropriate.
• With my experience in administering development programmes including construction work- roads, bridges,irrigation works, the largest stores in Sri Lanka, that are comparable with the largest stores anywhere in the world, I can assure that the structures required for the turbines can easily be built.
• Harnessing the wind for the creation of electricity in Sri Lanka is not only feasible, but achieving a target of 400MW can easily be done within a year at a fraction of the cost of installing coal fired plants..
