Sri Lanka launches 13-site grid-forming battery storage programme

SolarNews Brief

Sri Lanka is commissioning its largest battery energy storage programme, deploying grid-forming systems across 13 substation sites. Each system is designed to store 40 MWh during daytime hours and discharge up to 10 MW to the national grid during evening peak demand.

The programme is intended to shift renewable generation from high-solar and wind periods into peak consumption hours, reducing reliance on fossil-fuel generation and strengthening grid stability. Windforce PLC and Vidullanka PLC won the project through an international competitive tender in July 2025 and selected Huawei as technology provider for most deployments. The project directly supports Sri Lanka’s target of reaching 70% renewable electricity generation by 2030.
