Sri Lanka Energy Balance 2015 Sri Lanka Sustainable Energy Authority 1st Floor, Block 5, BMICH Bauddalokha Mawatha Colombo 07 Sri Lanka Copyright © by Sri Lanka Sustainable Energy Authority ISSN: ISSN 2386-172X All rights reserved. First Printed in Sri Lanka 1976 Undoubtedly, the energy systems across the globe are undergoing an incredible transformation. Sri Lanka's energy sector is no exception. Like any other trajectory, the initial position, stance, velocity and direction at exit and more importantly the external forces exerted during the travel can influence the path of any projectile. Hence we chose 'Paths' as the theme of our cover story for the Sri Lanka Energy Balance 2015. The cover graphic, a long exposure photograph of a busy road against the backdrop of a starry Northern sky presents a concept: a good concept for transforming the energy sector of Sri Lanka. The red hued streaks left by the tails lamps of vehicles moving away from the viewer and the white hued streaks are left by the head lamps of the oncoming vehicles. These streaks are nothing but random strokes of light, left by the random Paths taken by each vehicle. We may never know why a particular vehicle took a particular Path, as it is a result of the dynamics within the short span of time it took to pass the viewer. Such Paths are intrinsically shaped by the many local factors in the physical sense and are caused in the short term. These Paths are a story of completely random events, guided only by the paved roadway. The stars in the Northern sky, in contrast leave exact circular arcs, with a common centre near the polar star stella polaris and is never affected by the local and short term disturbances. Such star streaks are drawn in the heavenly canvas as long as one can imagine, oblivious to the turmoil in the terrestrial circumstances. Such rigid and permanent Paths have guided humanity to discover new continents and circumvent the globe for millennia. The energy sector too can benefit, if we set our eyes on such permanent goals as preservation, generation and nurturing of national wealth than reacting to local stimuli. Resolute actions, based on a long term vision realised after careful analysis of where we stand today and where we intend to be in future may take us to a new land in an energy sense, just the way mankind ‘discovered’ new world in the past few centuries, guided by stella polaris. Unknown to most of us, we have begun our journey. It is not too late to decide our Path. Sri Lanka Energy Balance 2015 Executive Summary Reporting of energy sector transactions entered a new phase, with the traditional energy value chains dominated by large scale suppliers and numerous users changing form to value chains operated by large number of small scale suppliers dealing with large number of users. These changes occurred mainly in onsite power generation using solar PV rooftop in the residential sector and large volumes of industrial thermal energy usage moving away from centrally supplied fossil fuels to widely sourced fuelwood supplies. These emerging complexities will continue to affect the timely reporting of energy sector transactions. Energy sector of Sri Lanka experienced certain unexpected events during 2015 starting from relatively low petroleum prices after a long spell of continuous escalation and also some low probability high impact events in the electricity sector. Apart from these events, positive trends observed in renewable energy development continued during 2015, hinting on a mature market form. Energy demand side management attracted the attention of policy makers, causing the Government to establish a Presidential Task Force on Energy Demand Side Management, which prepared a five year plan to tackle the growing demand in the most economic way. Coal power gained its firm position as the base load generator, relieving the country to a great extent from the burden of expensive power generation from liquid fossil fuel. The coal power generation met 34% of the total electricity generation in the country in 2015. Biomass is still the largest energy supply source, satisfying a greater portion of the cooking energy requirements of the domestic sector. While hydropower has already been extensively developed for electricity generation, studies have indicated that there is a large potential for wind and solar power development. Full exploitation of these resources is delayed, in view of the severe constraints imposed by the demand profile of the country. Studies are presently underway to establish the availability of offshore petroleum resources. Hitherto, biomass dominated the primary energy supply. But at present, both biomass and petroleum dominate in equal proportions, at 39% of the total primary energy supply. Coal accounts for 10%, followed by 9% of hydro power and 3% of New Renewable Energy (NRE). Electricity remains the main secondary energy source. The total amount of electricity generated during 2015 was 13,206.8 GWh out of which 51% was from thermal plants. The NRE generation reached 11% in 2015, which successfully managed to meet the policy target of generating 10% of electricity from NRE sources by 2015. The solar net-metering scheme accounted for approximately 38.8 GWh by 2015, which further reinforced towards achieving the policy target of generating 10% of electricity from NRE resources by 2015. After several years, the CEB reported a positive financial performance with a 2.0% return on assets, while the LECO also recorded a profit of 4.5% return on asset. The electricity tariff revised on September 16 and November 15, 2014 was effective for 2015 as well. A Time of Use tariff was introduced to the Domestic category with effect from September 15, 2015. The petroleum distribution remained stable with the two suppliers; CPC and Lanka Indian Oil Company (LIOC) operating a widespread distribution network around the country. Similar to previous years, the largest energy consuming sector in 2015 was the household, commercial and other sector, using a share of 40.6% of the country’s total energy demand. Transport sector share of energy consumption, which was mainly met through liquid petroleum, accounted for a share of 28.8%, while the industrial sector surpassed the transport demand at 30.6%. International crude oil prices (Brent) declined in 2015, compared to 2014. The average Brent fell by to USD 53.75 per barrel in 2015, from USD 99.68 per barrel in 2014. Brent crude oil prices fluctuated between US dollars 36-68 per barrel in 2015. Domestic retail prices of petroleum products were also reduced several times in 2015 in response to the decline in oil prices in the international market. The Grid Emission Factors calculated for 2015 gives the Simple Operating Margin as 0.6896 t-CO2/MWh, the Build Margin as 1.0067 t-CO2/MWh and the Combined Margin as 0.8481 t-CO2/MWh .

  • 1 SRI LANKA: Integrated Watershed & Water Resources Management
    SRI LANKA: Integrated Watershed & Water Resources Management Project Executive Summary of Safeguard Documents (A) ENVIRONMENT AND SOCIAL MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK (ESMF) Background: The Global Climate Risk Index 2019 ranks Sri Lanka as the second among the most affected countries of the World by climate change. The impacts of climate change are already starting to show with severe and long duration droughts followed by severe flooding and landslides occurring almost every year in several parts of the country. The island’s major rivers originate from the mountains in the central region and radiate out to the lowlands to distribute water across the country; making the central region the main watershed of the country. Over the years, forest cover in the upper watersheds have been extensively modified, degraded and fragmented. The natural montane wetlands and marshlands have been converted to agricultural lands and other anthropogenic land uses. Lowered capacity for water infiltration and retention in the upper watershed areas has contributed to increasingly variable and uncertain water availability affecting agriculture and industrial growth, community and individual livelihoods, and even lives. Studies show that these trends are likely to exacerbate, and the wetter areas of the country would eventually become wetter and the drier areas drier. Unplanned settlements, industrial projects, and maladaptive agricultural practices are creating additional water stresses. It is estimated that approximately 80% of the river basins have greatly reduced their water quality and quantity due to these unplanned activities. Sri Lanka’s water resources are critically important to sustain the country’s socio-ecological integrity and development goals. As such, the Government of Sri Lanka (GoSL) has initiated many watershed and water resources management programs focusing on various geographical areas of the country to address these challenges.

The introduction of a services in 2001 imposed a heavy burden on the economy. flexible pricing policy for petroleum products and proposed Power cuts were in force for about half of the year. The reforms to the power, petroleum and postal sectors are terrorist attack on the Katunayake Bandaranayake welcome moves in this direction. International Airport (KIA) and the subsequent increase in Public investment in infrastructure development fell the war risk premium on aircraft passing through KIA short of expectations in 2001, mainly due to budgetary brought the airport operations almost to a standstill on some constraints. Public investment in economic infrastructure fell days. An increase in insurance costs due to a war risk to 3.9 per cent of GDP in 2001 in comparison to the premium, as well as labour disputes, had a serious impact original estimate of 6.0 per cent and 2000 figure of 4.4 per on port operations. The weak railway infrastructure led to cent. Public investments in social infrastructure also fell to a large number of derailments and several fatal accidents 1.0 per cent from 1.3 per cent in 2000. This level of during the year. Moreover, inadequate supply of investment is inadequate when considering the deficient infrastructure services, operational inefficiencies and issues nature of infrastructure facilities in the country.

Udayakumar Abstract The main focus of this thesis work is to perform a preliminary evaluation for the introduction of a pumped energy storage system to an existing hydropower plant located on the Randenigala water reservoir in Sri Lanka. The selected power plant is located in an area where farming is done extensively, therefore electrical power generation and release of water for downstream irrigation purposes is to be properly coordinated with relevant authorities. The solution to this situation is to introduce a wind powered pumped energy storage power plant to the Mahaweli hydro cascade for the purpose of saving peak power for around half an hour. A feasibility study was carried out on the utilization of wind energy and excess power to drive the motors of the pumped storage system. Three versions with different numbers of pump motors and wind turbines have been considered to meet the half hour peak demand of the energy storage system. The optimum number of turbines and motor capacities and their number and brand have been selected with view of both energy and water management system.
