Introduction
I was very happy to see that two-page advertisement in Daily FT on the first ever PV Solar park at Hambantota commissioned to develop 10 MW and I could imagine how happy the Minister and State Minister would have been. Why I was so happy was that according to the graph given below taken from Long Term Generation Plan of the CEB for 2015-2034, this 10MW unit at Hambantota would give us at least 45000GW hrs of energy in one year – three times our annual electricity consumption.
