Soorya Bala Sangramaya (Battle for Solar Energy)

This is a community based power generation project launched by the Sri Lankan government. This project expects to add 1 GW of solar based electricity to the national grid by the year 2025 by setting up small solar powerplants on the rooftops of buildings such as households, hotels, commercial establishments and industries etc., where the consumers can act as power generators too at the same time. Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB), Lanka Electricity Company (Private) Limited (LECO) and Sri Lanka Sustainable Energy Authority collaborate in this endeavor.

How it works

Power generated by the rooftop solar powerplants can be integrated with the national grid through the utility Ceylon Electricity Board or Lanka Electricity Company (Private) Limited as per their preferred option from the following three schemes.

 

Net Metering

The electricity connection will be metered by an export/import energy meter.  It would register the export and import of electricity by the consumer separately. At the end of each billing period, the utility will prepare the electricity bill for the difference between the import and the export registers. If the export exceeds the import, the consumer will receive an export credit. This will be brought forward to next month’s consumption. However, there will be no financial compensation for the excess exported. Such credits can be carried-over to subsequent months. Such exports will be set-off against the consumer’s own consumption in the current billing period or future billing periods. If the import exceeds the export, the consumer will have to pay for the difference.


Net Accounting

This Scheme has introduced an additional element to Net Metering scheme where the utility shall pay for the exported energy at an export tariff.   The current tariff is Rs 22.00 per exported unit during the first 7 years and Rs 15.50 per exported unit from the 8th to 20th year (these are subject to change).  If the import exceeds the export, the consumer will have to pay for the difference


Net Plus

In this scheme, the total generation of electricity from the solar powerplant will be metered through a dedicated export energy meter. The utility shall pay for the exported energy at an export tariff similar to the scheme Net Accounting. The energy import will be measured through a separate import energy meter for which consumer has to pay
