Kotmale Hydro Power Station
The Kotmale Hydro Power Station is a significant hydroelectric facility located in Sri Lanka. It was commissioned in 1985 and has an installed capacity of 120 megawatts, contributing to the country's electricity supply. The power station harnesses the flow of the Kotmale River to generate renewable energy, helping to reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
The facility consists of a dam and a reservoir that store water, which is then released to drive turbines. This process not only generates electricity but also supports local water management. The Kotmale Hydro Power Station plays a crucial role in promoting sustainable energy in the region.
