Danish Energy Management (partnered with EA Energy Analyses) has been shortlisted for the Sri Lankan Wind Integration Study project.

Project Overview: The Government of Sri Lanka (GoSL) has declared the development of renewable energy to be of high priority in line with the national policy of maximizing indigenous sources and ensuring fuel diversity. Wind is therefore one of the promising renewable energy options available for grid-connected power. The extent of wind energy potential in Sri Lanka has been identified as greatly viable; ergo the technical and economic feasibility of harnessing this resource to its maximum potential for power generation is required to be studied. The technical ability of the Sri Lankan Power System to absorb wind-based generation and the associated costs has been identified as major concerns in developing wind power. Thus commissioning a study to provide some certainty in this area has become a priority.

The contract value of the project is 115.540 EUR, and the deadline for proposal submission is 7 June, 2010. Services are to commence tentatively 5, July 2010 and are estimated to continue for the duration of six months.
