Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 CEB curtails solar power intake into national grid by 50% between 11am and 1pm

⭕ CEB has issued verbal instructions to small-scale ground-mounted power producers to drop production, affecting plants over 10 MW in capacity.

⭕ No provision in power purchase agreements for such curtailment, says Grid Connected Solar Power Association President Sameera Ganegoda

⭕ Public Utilities Commission of Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 requests report from CEB on cuts, seeking explanation on steps to take in the future regarding solar power supply

⭕ CEB claims curtailment necessary to mitigate instability risks due to high penetration of non-synchronous solar PV generation, affecting grid's system inertia.

⭕ Only ground-mounted solar projects of 10MW or more are affected. Rooftop solar remains unaffected. #SriLanka #PowerGeneration #CEB
