The Sri Lanka Green Power Development and Energy Efficiency Improvement Investment Program (the investment program) is being implemented through series of investments by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) via a $360 million Multi-tranche Financing Facility (MFF). The objective of the investment will be to achieve increased adequacy and efficiency of power system. The MFF will combine finance to support physical and nonphysical investments, including energy efficiency and capacity building. Funding is structured into two tranches. The Investment Program is being implemented during 2014 – 2021.This is a draft Resettlement Plan (RP) prepared for the tranche-2 components of the investment program. The RP is in accordance with the ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS), 2009, GoSL’s National Involuntary Resettlement Policy (NIRP), 2001 and the Land Acquisition Act (LAA) of 1950 with amendments. This RP is in its draft form at the moment which is based on preliminary design and route alignment. Exact route alignment for transmission and distribution lines including the tower footings is not detailed and final at this stage. Therefore, assessment has been done based on the inventory survey which is walkover surveys. CEB will be responsible for finalizing the route alignment and tower footing locations and accordingly, this draft RP will be finalized and updated prior to the implementation and construction. The project components will broadly involve the following: A. Transmission Infrastructure Enhancement New Polpitiya-Hambantota 220kV Transmission Development Mannar – Nadukuda Transmission Development Construction of Colombo B 132/11kV Grid Substation Augmentation of Biyagama, Kotugoda and Kolonnawa Old Grid Substations Padukka – Horana 132kV Transmission Development Construction of Biyagama 220/33kV Grid Substation Second Circuit Stringing of Habarana–Valachchenai 132kV Transmission Line Augmentation of Dehiwala Grid Substation Augmentation of Madampe Grid Substation B. Medium Voltage Network Efficiency Improvement Construction of 33kV Tower Lines Construction of 33 kV Gantries Augmentation of 33/11 kV Primary Substations Construction of 33/11 kV Primary Substation C. Demand Side Management (DSM) pilot project in the Aweriwatte/Katunayake area of Western Province Application of smart-grid and smart-metering techniques for DSM integration ii. Tranche-2 subprojects consist of transmission and distribution components which include construction of new transmission lines, Grid Sub Stations (GSS), augmentation of GSS, construction of new distribution lines, gantries and augmentation of existing 33/11kV substations etc. Transmission and distribution components will have both permanent and temporary 1 impacts, however, will not have any physical displacement and severity of impact. There are two proposed new GSS (Hambantota and Nadukuda) out of which Hambantota is proposed on government land (2 hectare of land). The other GSS at Nadukuda is proposed to be on private land (2. 83 ha) which belongs to a company. CEB will acquire the land from the company through direct purchase and willing-buyer and willing seller method and through negotiated settlement. Augmentation of GSS will not require additional land. There are 4 proposed distribution gantries which require small piece of land each. Out of the 4 proposed new gantries only 2 gantries are on private land (Ethgala gantry and Weniwelara gantries). These gantries will require 0.375 hectares of land which CEB will acquire through a direct purchase from two land owners. Therefore total private land under acquisition is 3.21 hectares iii. Additionally, there will be number of transmission and distributions towers which will be placed on private land and the land area for each tower is minimal, however, cost of land will be compensated for the towers to be placed on private land. But these towers will not be acquired and the ownership will remain unchanged. A tentative assessment has been done based on the assumptions and inventory survey of lines. There are approximately 723 number of transmission towers out of which 662 are likely to be placed on private land and 61 towers are to be placed on government land. Total area required for transmission tower footings are 15.16 hectares out of which 13.78 hectares is private land and 1.37 hectare is government land. Similarly, there are approximately 218 number of distribution towers are likely to be placed out of which 190 are to be placed on private land and 28 are to be placed on government land. Total area required for distribution towers is 0.79 hectare out of which 0.69 hectare is private land and 0.10 hectare is government land. Therefore, as per the inventory, it is assessed that approximately, 14.47 hectares of land will be compensated for tower footings (13.78 ha for transmission towers and 0.69 hectares for distribution towers). It is assumed that each tower on private land will have one affected household which means there will be approximately 882 affected households who will be losing small portion of land. The extent of loss of land for each tower is very small and hence will not have any significant and severe impact as far as resettlement is concerned.
