Climate defeats energy planners in Sri Lanka

Abstract

Changes in climatic conditions and vagaries of rainfall have seriously affected Sri Lanka's hydro-electric power supplies. The country's planners, who thought that the 1980 installed capacity of 421 MMW would be sufficient to meet present needs, have been compelled to resort to power cuts. Attempts to seed rain clouds with Thai expertise have also failed. The bulk of the country's power supply comes from hydro-plants while thermal plants are used as a back-up source, the yield from this source is 20 MMW.
