30 mW Biomass Power Plant project

The 30-megawatt capacity biomass power plant is a major component of a sugar refinery industrial park located in the Badulla region of Sri Lanka. Planned by Singapore's Gazelle Ventures, the park will also include a sugarcane refinery with an annual output of 6,000 tons. Of its 30 mW capacity, 12 mW will be generated with using bushes as fuel and directly supplied to the power grid, while the other 18mW will be generated using bagasse during the sugar refining season and bushes during the non-refining season to supply steam to the sugar refinery. The project will provide electricity while the sugar refinery will provide more jobs to local communities.
