Erathna Mini Hydro Power Project, Hydroelectric facility in Ratnapura District, Sri Lanka
The Erathna Mini Hydro Power Project harnesses water flow from the Kuru Ganga river through a system of weirs, channels, and turbines to generate electricity.
The construction of this renewable energy project commenced in September 2001 and reached completion in July 2004, marking a significant step in Sri Lanka's energy infrastructure.
The power station operates near Adam's Peak, integrating industrial development with respect for local geographic and environmental conditions of the Ratnapura region.
The facility generates 40 gigawatt-hours of electricity annually, connecting to the national grid through an 18-kilometer transmission line to the Kosgama-Ratnapura power network.
The plant features a 463-meter vertical drop between its water intake point and powerhouse, utilizing German-manufactured Voith Siemens turbines for energy production.
