active

Between 1997 and 2002, the Government of Sri Lanka, together with the World Bank and Global Environment Facility, hosted the Energy Delivery Project. Under the project, a credit line was offered to private developers, NGOs and cooperates to develop mini hydropower projects, off-grid mini hydropower projects, and solar PV electrification of rural homes. In total 15 grid-connected mini hydropower projects were commissioned, of 31MW. Total credit line was US$19.7 million, from IDA, and US$3.8 million from GEF. This was supplemented by individual loans from participating banks, including: DFCC Bank, National Development Bank (NDB), Hatton National Bank (HNB), Sampath Bank, Commercial Bank, and Sarvodaya Economic Enterprises Development Services (SEEDS).
