with the utility. The tariff is increased by 5 percent annually from a base year. Moreover, the tariff can be reset mid contract after three years by the government. This undercuts long-term certainty. Energy wheeling is allowed, butdiscouraged economically by a high wheeling charge. In Tamil Nadu state, a similar set of PPA is employed.

Primarily, Sri Lanka has the required resource potential – particularly wind energy and solar energy resources. Even with the potential lands of solar power development alone, the electricity generation capacity for a foreseeable future period can be met.
Sri Lanka's energy policies and strategies strongly focus on developing conventional and nonconventional renewable energy sources for generating power. Promoting domestic energy resources has become one of the main policy components in Sri Lanka.
Sri Lanka's history of using wind power dates back to the 3rd century B.C. and as showcased in Fig. 2 the country currently boasts over 5000 km 2 of windy areas that are considered to have excellent wind resource potential areas (Sri Lanka Sustainable Energy Authority Ministry of Power and Energy, 2019).
With limited land availability for traditional solar installations, utilizing water bodies for solar power generation presents a smart and innovative solution. This strategy supports Sri Lanka’s ambitious national goal of generating 70% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030.
Moreover, Sri Lanka has also identified the potential for wind, bioenergy, and solar as alternative energy sources in the past two decades. However, the current contribution from these three renewable sources in comparison to hydroelectricity remains significantly low.
The majority of the large hydropower schemes are linked to the Mahaweli and Kelani, and those can be considered Sri Lankan's two main rivers, on which the CEB has produced 1370 MW of large hydro and 20.5 MW of small hydro (Asian Development Bank, 2019).
