  • The Lakvijaya Power Station (Sinhala: ලක් විජය බලාගාරය, romanized: Lak Vijaya Balāgāraya) (also known as the Norochcholai Power Station (Sinhala: නොරොච්චෝලෙ ගල් අඟුරු බලාගාරය, romanized: Noroccōle Gal An̆guru Balāgāraya; Tamil: நுரைச்சோலை அனல்மின் நிலையம், romanized: Nuraiccōlai Aṉalmiṉ Nilaiyam), after its location) is the largest power station in Sri Lanka. The power station is in Norocholai, Puttalam, on the southern end of the Kalpitiya Peninsula. Construction of the facility began on 11 May 2006, with the first unit commissioning on 22 March 2011. The first 300-megawatt phase was completed and ceremonially commissioned by President Mahinda Rajapaksa on 22 March 2011 at 18:27 local time, with the presence of Minister of Energy Champika Ranawaka, deputy Minister of Energy Premalal Jayasekara. According to the Ceylon Electricity Board, the US$455 million first phase generates nearly 1.7 TWh of electricity annually — a significant amount when compared to Sri Lanka's total production of 11.5 TWh in 2011. The plant is connected to the grid via 115 km (71 mi) 220-kilovolt transmission line to Veyangoda. Power station exhausts are emitted through a 150 m (492 ft) tall chimney, one of the country's tallest man-made structures. During its pre-development stages, protests were launched by residents living at the project site, claiming that they were deceived by the government. (en)
