The Chinese company is the largest investor, with an investment of around $ 20 billion, whilst three local companies including one with an Australian connection, are also investing. The processing capacity of the three local companies would be between 30-65 MT of fly ash per day.
When contacted by The Morning, Power Ministry Spokesman Sulakshana Jayawardena said all the four companies were at the final stage before launching commercial operations.
“The launching of commercial operations got delayed due to the Covid-19 situation, as most of the plant employees were from Wuhan, China and they went to China last February and haven’t returned yet,” he said.
As learnt by The Morning, the total ash production of the Lakvijaya Plant is around 29,000 MT per month, and the plant sells 26,500 MT of ash for cement production, earning revenue of Rs. 700 million per year.
However according to Jayawardena, the fly ash is given away by the plant free of charge.
Jayawardena also added that the Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) can save costs on ash storage and water spraying.
“A 35 acre plot of land is currently being used to store the ash, and the CEB can release that land once the brick production is started. In addition, coal power can be generated in an environmentally friendly way,” he said.
Meanwhile, the Committee on Public Enterprises (COPE) discussed the Lakvijaya Coal Power Plant last week. It was revealed that it costs Rs. 26 million per year to spray water on fly ash alone.
