About 35 Mw to national grid:
Sri Lanka will implement more Broadlands Hydropower Projects which will drastically reduce carbon emissions while adding more power to the national grid.
Ceylon Electricity Board's (CEB) chairman Prof. W. Abeywickrama said the 35 Mw Broadlands Hydro Power Projects will be constructed along the Kelani river covering the Central and Sabaragamuwa provinces.
He said that measures will be taken to register these projects for Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) aimed at reducing carbon emissions.
The CDM under the UN Kyoto protocol will give the Certified Emission Reduction (CER) Certificate which sindicates to the Carbon Dioxide (CO2) that is reduced by the project.
A contract on consultancy services to register the CDM was signed by the CEB with the Korean Company, Ecoeye at the CEB headquarters in Colombo Thursday.
The Broadlands Hydropower projects can prevent carbon emission by 86,000 metric tons per year.
