Wind Power Generation Project: Social Monitoring Report
The individual wind turbines were connected via 33kV underground cables that was used to carry the power generated by the wind turbines to the collector substation at Nadukkuda.
Sri Lanka 's electricity demand is currently met by nine thermal power stations, fifteen large hydroelectric power stations, and fifteen wind farms, with a smaller share from small hydro facilities and other renewables such as solar.

An all island Wind Energy Resource Atlas of Sri Lanka was developed by National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) of USA in 2003, indicates nearly 5,000 km 2 of windy areas with good-to-excellent wind resource potential in Sri Lanka. About 4,100 km 2 of the total windy area is on land and about 700 km 2 is in lagoons.
Factors such as wind speed, wind direction, topography, and proximity to the power grid need to be assessed to determine the site's suitability for wind power generation. At present, higher wind potential areas in Sri Lanka are analyzed to construct effective wind power plants.
