The government has decided to award a 10 MW solar power plant contract to Didul (Pvt.) Ltd.
A proposal by Power and Renewable Energy Minister Ranjith Siyambalapitiya in this regard has been approved by the Cabinet this week.
The solar power plant developed under construction, ownership and maintenance basis, will be located near a grid substation in Valachchenai.
Once completed, the power plant will sell electricity to the Ceylon Electricity Board, at Rs.12.49 per kilowatt hour.
