Introduction During the first half of year 2015, maximum recorded electricity demand in Sri Lanka was 2210.4MW (excluding the contribution of SPP Mini Hydro, Solar and Biomass) which is a higher value compared to the maximum demand of 2151.7MW in year 2014. In order to reach this demand and to cater the electricity requirement in Sri Lanka, altogether 196 Grid connected power plants with total installed capacity of 3917MW have been operated in the first half of 2015. Out of these power plants 27 have been owned and operated by Ceylon Electricity Board including 17 hydro plants, 9 thermal plants and 1 wind power plant. Withal, 6 thermal power plants have been operated by Independent Power Producers (IPPs) and 163 renewable power plants have been operated by Small Power Producers (SPPs) including mini hydro plants, solar power plants, wind power plants and biomass power plants. Out of the above, 5 renewable power plants have been commissioned in the first half of 2015 to strengthen the generation capacity of the country. Also, the contract period of the private power plants ACE Power Embilipitiya and Colombo Power Barge expired by April and June 2015 respectively. The chart below shows the existed installed capacities in MW of each type of power plants by the end of June 2015.

Load Factor Load Factor is an indicator which shows how steady an electrical load over time. It is simply the average load divided by the peak load in a system over a period of time. But normally load factor is calculated subjected to the produced energy according to the following formula. 푇표푡푎푙 퐺푒푛푒푟푎푡표푛 퐷푢푟푛푔 푡ℎ푒 푁표푚푛푎푙 푃푒푟표푑 퐿표푎푑 퐹푎푐푡표푟 = 푀푎푥푚푢푚 퐷푒푚푎푛푑 x푁표 . 표푓 ℎ표푢푟푠 푛 푡ℎ푒 푟푒푝표푟푡 푝푒푟표푑 Calculated Load Factor for the total system for first half of year 2015 = 61.8% Calculated Load Factor for the total system for first half of year 2014 = 62.1% 5 | P a g e [Generation Performance in Sri Lanka] 2015 (First Half) Load factor of any system must be tried to keep in its maximum by pulling down the concentrated maximum demand and shifting the loads to periods of otherwise low usage. Load factor maximization is essential in maintaining the security of supply of the countries in which, meeting the concentrated maximum demand is critical. Countries which have a flat load curve own a higher load factor. Monthly Variation in Load Factor 66% 64% 62% 60% 58% 56% 54% 52% 50% Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Sri Lanka has a load curve with a steep peak in the night, where starting from about 6.00 pm the load grows to about 2,100 MW by 7.30 pm and starts falling off after about 08.30 pm. Therefore the system must be comprised a substantial additional generation capacity only to meet that abrupt sharp night peak; hence the load factor in Sri Lanka is comparatively low. As a solution for that, CEB has introduced a three tier tariff plan for the industrial electricity consumers with low off peak rates and penal peak rates to smoothen the daily peak load and push some industrial activities to low demand hours, and this time-of-day tariff scheme is expected to be facilitated for the domestic consumers as well in near future. Note: Load Factors were calculated excluding NCRE contribution of SPP Mini Hydro, Solar and Biomass component of the system 5. Plant Factor The plant factor of a power plant is the ratio of the actual energy output of the power plant over a period of time to its potential output if it had operated at full nameplate capacity the entire time. Plant Factors vary greatly depending on the type of power plants and it is calculated according to the following formula. 6 | P a g e [Generation Performance in Sri Lanka] 2015 (First Half) 퐴푐푡푢푎푙 퐸푛푒푟푔푦 푃푟표푑푢푐푡표푛 퐷푢푟푛푔 푡ℎ푒 푁표푚푛푎푙 푃푒푟표푑 푃푙푎푛푡 퐹푎푐푡표푟 = 푃표푡푒푛푡푎푙 퐸푛푒푟푔푦 푃푟표푑푢푐푡표푛 퐷푢푟푛푔 푡ℎ푒 푃푒푟표푑 Calculated plant factors for all grid connected power plants in Sri Lanka during the first half of the year 2015 are listed below.
