ECONOMYNEXT – Sri Lanka''s cabinet of ministers had given approval to develop grid scale battery energy storage systems (BESS) to maintain power system stability as variable renewable power plants expand, a government statement said.
United Solar Group of Australia has secured Sri Lankan government approval for a $1.72 billion investment in a 700 MW floating solar and 1.5 GWh storage project. The company will install a 700 MW solar system across 437 hectares in the shallows of Poonakary Lake in the town of Kilinochchi.
Battery storage plays a significant role from 2030 onwards while meeting 34% of the final electricity demand in 2050. Results indicate that the increasing total final energy demand of Sri Lanka can be met through renewables-based electricity and a diverse mix of technologies.

Victorian company United Solar Group initially proposed the project in September following a call out from the country’s government seeking projects with a capacity of 50 MW or more to accelerate renewable energy development programs in Sri Lanka.

This research demonstrated how, through a supply of renewables and the use of energy storage, the hourly energy demands of Sri Lanka's power, heat, transport, and desalination sectors can be met in the BPS. Solar PV, including prosumer solar PV, provided up to 86% of the annual energy demand of the country by 2050.
From this remaining land area, 50% is set aside for human activities. By considering a limit of 5% of the subsequent land area without human activity, the PV module efficiency and specific capacity improvements from 2020 to 2050, the total solar PV potential for Sri Lanka is established.

The project will support Sri Lanka''s pursuit of a 70% renewable energy by 2030 policy target for electricity generation. The country currently sources power from a relatively high share of renewables due to hydroelectric generation facilities and some contributions from distributed solar PV and wind. However, about 50% comes from thermal ...
Energy Park is a concept initially proposed as an alternative strategy to accelerate wind and solar power development in Sri Lanka. Energy Parks function in the form of a public-private partnership. The main purpose of energy parks is to attract investments for renewable energy development at the optimum economic efficiency. At present, the involvement of the private sector in wind and …

In practice, however, the solution is not so simple because large-scale Energy Storage Systems (ESS) are currently quite expensive. There are three emerging technologies in ESSs that could become viable for solar and wind in the near future. Smart batteries; Thermal energy storage; Hydrogen fuel cells
