All measures have been finalised to meet the total electricity requirement of the Jaffna district by the beginning of next year, Power and Energy Minister Patali Champika Ranawaka said.He said the entire power system in the Jaffna district, destroyed by terrorists during the war, have been renovated and upgraded. Around 95 percent out of the total electricity requirement in Jaffna have already been provided and the remaining five percent will be supplied within the next two months, he said.The minister was addressing a special meeting on ‘High quality energy service for industries’ for Northern province small and middle scale industrialists.Ranawaka said with the end of the war, the Northern province had been identified as one of the provinces where maximum electricity waste and damage took place.“Electricity waste in the Northern province has now been brought down to 19 percent. All measures are in place to reduce this to 10 percent. The Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) loses over Rs 3 billion annually to provide electricity to the Northern province continuously.The Power and Energy Ministry is planning to reduce this loss by building a 24 megawatt furnace oil power plant in the Northern province,” he said. The Lanka Electricity Company has invested Rs 3.5 billion on this project, the minister said.Ranawaka said the CEB hopes to create a solar energy garden with a capacity of 10 megawatt in the Kilinochchi district and fix a high tension 132 kilovolt line in Anuradhapura.The government will also spend Rs 3,300 million to extend the national electricity grid to Nainathivu, Elawanthivu, Analathivu and Delft islands, he said.
