Sojitz Kelanitissa Power Station
The Sojitz Kelanitissa Power Station (also known as Sojitz Power Station, and AES Kelanitissa Power Station), is privately owned 172 MW diesel-fired combined cycle power station located in Kelanitissa, in the city of Colombo, Sri Lanka. It is owned by Sojitz Kelanitissa Private Limited, a subsidiary of Sojitz Corporation. The power station is located adjacent to the Kelanitissa Power Station, which is a separate government-owned power station. The power station consists of two generation units, a GEPG9171E gas turbine with a nameplate capacity of 115 MW, and a 57 MW steam turbine manufactured by Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited. Construction works were done by Larsen & Toubro. Like all power stations in Sri Lanka, power generated by the power station are sold to the Ceylon Electricity Board under a 20-year take-or-pay power purchase agreement. The low-sulfur diesel is supplied through an existing pipeline by the Ceylon Petroleum Corporation, with 20,000 tons, or the equivalent of 28-days of full capacity operations, stored in case of any fuel shortage. The plant is currently running on a 20-year contract, which ends on October 10, 2023. CEB acquired the power station on 28 March 2023.
