Triumphs of clean energy, a journey across wind, solar, and hydropower.

Triumphs of clean energy, a journey across wind, solar, and hydropower.

Imagine a world where energy flows from the sun, the wind, and water powering homes and cities without harming the environment. This future is closer than you think, thanks to renewable energy. Renewable energy sources drive a sustainable future with far fewer impacts compared to non-renewable resources like fossil fuels. The infrastructure supporting energy systems, from solar farms to wind turbines, is designed with minimal disruption to the ecosystems in which it is built.

Our journey began with wind energy, harnessing turbines to convert kinetic power into clean electricity. At WindForce across Sri Lanka, we operate 8 wind power plants with a combined capacity of over 84.2 MW, producing an annual output of 259 GWh. Wind energy has a long history, but with continued advancements, it remains a key player in the global shift toward renewable energy and is still in the development stage. Wind energy is vital and will continue to be vital in the global push for sustainable, renewable power.

Solar energy's limitless potential is transforming energy landscapes. As per the Sri Lanka Sustainable Energy Authority, the Global Horizontal Irradiance (GHI) varies from 1,247 kWh/m2 to 2,106 kWh/m2. The country's solar potential is large. At WindForce we are moving forward with solar energy steadfastly. We proudly operate 13 solar power plants, generating a total capacity of 144.6 MW and producing 265.17 GWh of clean energy annually. To avoid the looming climate problems, a brighter future is being created as we pave the way.

Historically, Hydropower has been widely used as a source of renewable energy generated from the flow of water in rivers, dams, or tidal movements. The abundance of rainfall, vast rivers, and natural topography in Sri Lanka makes it possible to construct many mini hydropower plants and generate electricity. We at WindForce have successfully made over 10 mini hydropower plants in operation with a 26.3 MW total capacity and an annual energy output of 110 GWH, eight of which are in Sri Lanka, ranging from 0.8 MW to 3.8 MW, and two in Uganda.

The triumphs of renewable energy extend beyond technological advancements; they signify a broader societal shift driving the widespread adoption of renewable energy. Government policies are increasingly supportive, with subsidies, and incentives encouraging small-scale projects or installations. As the companies recognise the economic and environmental benefits of clean energy,? investments in clean energy are growing, while public awareness is driving demand for fossil-free solutions.?

The urgent need for sustainable solutions to address the abrupt changes in climate has never been more pressing. Transitioning to renewables now is not an option anymore, and along with the growing momentum of public awareness, all woven together, it's a necessity for a greener and more resilient future.
