The Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB), supported by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), is undertaking a project with four packages to enhance Sri Lanka's power infrastructure.
Package 1 involves constructing a 132kV/220kV/400kV transmission line between Sampoor and Habarana, aiming to strengthen transmission capacity, reduce losses, and improve energy efficiency for a more reliable power supply network in the country. In support of these efforts, Skipper Limited has played a pivotal role by supplying 3,324.38 metric tons of various 400kV towers. Additionally, the Skipper undertook the crucial task of conducting load testing for a new tower type, further solidifying the project's success and ensuring its long-term sustainability.
Sri Lanka also faced the period of financial crisis during this project but Skipper worked in close co-ordination with CEB to ensure minimum disturbance to the project timelines.
The project has significantly augmented the transmission and distribution network across seven key regions of the country. The revitalized and upgraded infrastructure not only optimizes energy supply efficiency but also catalyzes local economic development by generating employment opportunities. Consequently, this endeavour contributes substantially to the overarching enhancement of Sri Lanka's power transmission and delivery network.
