Executive Summary

This project is categorized as category "B" for the involuntary resettlement and category "C" for

impacts on the indigenous people. The Central Environment Authority has granted their

approval for the Initial Environmental Examination (lEE) of the project. Hence it can be

concluded this project has less social and environmental impact. The project complies with the

concerned laws and regulations of the country.

All Divisional Secretaries were also informed of all the social issues and mitigation measures to

be adopted and currently various complaints and issues raised by the public are inquired to

address them and find solutions for the satisfaction of every stake holder.

Project implementation has been commenced in 2015. An amendment to the contract of Lot A

has been signed on June 12, 2017, as per the scope revision initiated by CEB and the new

completion date of Lot A as per the contract amendment is April 11, 2019. Two time extensions

have been granted for Lot B contract as per the contractor's request considering the delays due

to adverse weather, material shortage, excessive amount of rock encountering, access restriction

issues etc. Accordingly the new completion date of Lot B is October 31, 2018.

1.0 Introduction

1.1 Brief Description of the Project

Electricity consumers in the Mannar District is provided with electricity at 230V (single

phase) and 400V (three phase) using long distance 33,000V distribution lines and

33,000/400V primary substations. Due to this reason, the electricity supply reliability and

the parameters of the supply (mainly the required voltage) are hampered substantially for

many years. The necessity of addressing this aspect was finally becomes a reality now.

Ministry of Power & Energy and the Ministry of Finance & Planning, successfully

negotiated a loan from Asian Development Bank to construct the much awaited

132,000/33,000V grid substation in Mannar and also to construct a 125km long

220,000V transmission lines from Anuradhapura via Vavuniya to Mannar by connecting

Mannar too with the national power transmission grid.

The second most important objective in the construction of 55km long transmission line

from Anuradhapura to Vavuniya is the replacement of already available 132,000V

transmission line which is more than forty (40) years old. This transmission line is the

major and only back bone line that carries bulk electricity energy from the central part of

4

the country to north. The new transmission line is constructed in 220,000V capacity for

catering the future requirements in the North and Mannar enabling the transfer of more

energy for the development activities and new settlements.

Government of Sri Lanka strongly believes the need of changing the fossil fuel

dependency on electricity generation, mainly due to two factors. One factor is the ever

increasing cost of fossil fuels, draining of hard earned foreign reserves & scarcity of

fossil fuels expected to be seriously felt in next few decades to come. The other most

important factor is the necessity of reducing the pollution of the earth atmosphere by

decreasing fossil fuel burning for power generation, and addressing the needs with

harnessing more and more clean energy resources. Mannar District is also identified as a

potential wind energy resource region. Hence it is proposed by National Electricity

Generation Planners that around 350 MW of wind energy plants shall be developed in the

Mannar District and that energy shall be evacuated to the National Power Grid 220,000V

Electricity transmission system. The transmission line constructed under this project shall

be utilized for that purpose as well.

A. Executive Summary

Overall progress as at the end of the 2ndquarter 2018 is 99% for lot A, 93% for lot B and 83.4% for

lot C of the project.

Resettlement screening has been done for both lots of the project and they have been categorized as

“B”.

Impact Indigenous People screening has been done for both lots of the project and they have been

categorized as “C”.

All three lots of the project comply with the concerned laws and regulations of the Country.

Hence it can be concluded that all three lots of the project do not have significant social safeguard

issues. All three lots of the project have been categorized as “B” as they have very less social impacts

based on the screening mentioned above.

The Lot C of the project (4 transmission lines) transvers through 7 divisional secretariat areas and

all divisional secretaries were informed of all the social issues and mitigation measures adopted

during the pre-construction and construction stages of the project. Public consultations were carried

out during the planning and design stage and public issues are being addressed during the

implementation to ensure that any of stakeholders is not affected adversely on implementation of

the project. All Divisional Secretaries were also informed of the social issues and solutions to be

adopted.

GRM of the project is developed and got cleared by ADB.

Construction works of Kegalle Grid Substation has already been completed. Profile surveying, tower

spotting and soil investigation along the transmission line routes are completed and foundation,

tower erection and stringing works are in progress for Thulhiriya – Kegalle. Tower erection works

and foundation works are in progress for Athurugiriya-Padukka line. Polptiya – New Polpitiya line

was completed and energized, retaining walls under construction. Athurugiriya-Kolonnawa line

works on hold since the line was not released by the System Control Centre of CEB.

At present 68 complaints and issues raised by the public are inquired and solutions were given for

the satisfaction of every stake holder. There are 22 objections raised by the public are remaining to

provide solutions. Construction works are affected in one span of Kegalle-Thulhiriya line in

Devalegama area due to court proceedings, acquisition in progress of this particular land.Another

tower location couldn’t release for constructionin Athurugiriya-Padukka line due to landowner

objection, hence acquisition is in progress.

B. Brief Description of the Project

Clean Energy & Network Efficiency Improvement Project is funded by ADB loan No. 2892-

SRI.The loan agreement was signed on 8th May 2013 and the loan became effective on 30th

September 2013.The loan closing date was 30th June 2017 and the loan is extended up to 30th June

2019. Total amount of the loan is 100 Million US$.

Sri Lankan power sector struggles to meet demand growth for electricity at sufficient low cost and

acceptable reliable levels. The share of thermal energy in the power generation mix has increased

from 6% in 1995 to 54% in 2011.

Demand growth has been generally met by expensive oil fired thermal generation that is not the

solution to the country’s energy security and environment protection in long term. Diversification

of generation mix including from renewable energy sources and improvement of network efficiency

can help to address this issue. To enable future planned power supply increases, meet growing

demand in the regions and integrate renewable energy sources in to the grid, it is required to

strengthen the transmission network.

Consequently, the Ceylon Electricity Board had decided to establish a new 220kV transmission

connection between Laxapana complex and the main load center of the country. Presently hydro and

mini-hydro power generated in and around Laxapana complex is transmitted to the main load center

by using approximately 50 years old 132kV transmission lines.

The Government of Sri Lanka (GOSL) and Asian Development Bank (ADB) signed an agreement for ordinary operations loan for the Clean Energy & Network Efficiency Improvement Project.

C. Brief Description of the Contract Package

Package 2 of the Project consists three Lots. Descriptions of each lot are as follows.

Objective:

Lot A: Construction of 132kV/33kV, 2 x 31.5 MVA Kegalle Grid Substation and

Augmentation of Thulhiriya GS:

This lot will meet the load growth demand in Kegalle, Mawanella, Polgahawela

and Rambukkana areas and thereby relieve loading of Thulhiriya and

Kiribathkumbura Grid Substations. Kegalle GS will also improve the voltage

profile of 33 kV distribution systems and reduce distribution losses thus improving

the quality of supply in and around Kegalle, Mawanella, Polgahawela and

Rambukkana areas. This new GS will connect to the national grid.

Lot B: Installation of Breaker Switched capacitor banks at 7 Substations:

Most major loads in and around Colombo and Gampaha are fed from Biyagama,

Sapugaskanda, Kolannawa GSs. Proposed installation of capacitors will improve

the voltage profile of the 33 kV distribution systems and thereby improve the

quality of supply in the areas. Since reactive power requirement is supplied at the

load center, it contributes to the reduction of system losses.

Lot C: Construction of 132 kV 22.5 km, double circuit (Zebra) Thulhiriya to Kegalle

transmission line. :

This line is used to supply 132kV power supply to New Kegalle GS.

Construction of132kV twin Zebra double circuit line from Polpitiya to New

Polpitiya & from Padukka to Athurugiriya and Rebuilding of existing 132kV Lynx

double circuit line with GTACSR/ZTACIR double circuit from Athurugiriya to

Kolonnawa:

Hydropower from Laxapana complex would be evacuated through the new 220 kV

line to proposed Padukka GS then to existing Kolonnawa switching station via

existing Athurugiriya GS and to existing Pannipitiya GS via new 220 kV line. Load

centers presently served by Athurugiriya GS and the Kolonnawa switching station

would now have to be served from Kelanitissa thermal power plants. 132 kV

Kolonnawa Switching Station serves major loads in Colombo area. The New

Polpitiya – Pannipitiya 220 kV transmission line passes through Padukka. A 132 kV

double circuit twin zebra line is proposed from the proposed Padukka GS to existing

Kolonnawa switching station via existing Athurugiriya GS to transmit power

generated at Laxapana hydropower complex to Kolonnawa Switching Station.

F. Implementation of Grievance Redress Mechanism and Complaints Received from

Stakeholders

The selected line routes has been carefully selected with the participation of all concerned parties

[including the Government Agent (GA), Divisional Secretaries & relevant state organizations. All

the factors such as reserved areas clearance from the existing lines, National Building Research

Organization (NBRO), communal issues etc. were addressed during the design stage.

A project description board is displayed in the Kegalle GS premises. Telephone numbers are

available for public to contact the project officials for raising any complaints, requesting information

etc. Moreover public can make their complaints, views, comments etc. via the official web site of

CEB, www.ceb.lk.

People can raise their complaints and grievances through relevant Government Officials in their areas

(Grama Niladhari and Divisional Secretary). They can also contact PUCSL. Further, The Central

Environment Authority (CEA) has appointed a Monitoring Committee consisting of relevant

agencies for the purpose of overseeing social and environmental issues and mitigatory measures. The

Monitoring Committee has visited sites, look into the various complaints and issues rose by the public

and forwarded their recommendations.

Presently objections hearing meetings with objected people are almost completed within all the

divisional secretary areas affected by the project, with the participation of relevant divisional

secretaries.

The land for the Construction of Kegalle Grid Sub Station was acquired by Divisional Secretary and

handed over to CEB in March 2015. Divisional Secretary informed that the Valuation was expecting

from the Department of Valuation. Mean time DS is expecting the Attorney General instruction to

divide the compensation as per the landowner’s agreement without initiation of court proceedings.

Once the above decisions are received DS is planning to make the compensation.

There is only one court case hearing relating to one span of Kegalle-Thulhiriya line. Now land owner

informally agreed to settlement accepting the Compensation estimated by Galigamuwa DS. The

formal terms of the settlement need to be agreed in Court of Appeal on next hearing Date 28th

September 2018. Further one land owner is objecting to the valuation given by DS –Kaduwlea for

foundation location and CEB initiate the land acquisition for the particular tower location.

Wayleave estimations and compensation payments are in progress. The Compensation for

Devaluation of the land20% completed and estimation 70% completed.

A. Executive Summary

Project Scope of Package 4 is completed at the end of June.

Both Lots comply with the Laws & Regulations of the Country. Resettlement Screening was done for

both Lots and categorized as “B”. Impacts on the Indigenous People screening done and categorized

as “C”. Hence it can be concluded that both Lots of the Package 4 of CENEIP do not have significant

Social Safeguard Issues.

The 33kV Lines in both Lots traverse through 16 Divisional Secretary Areas and all Divisional

Secretaries were informed of all the Social Issues and Mitigation Measures adopted during the Pre-

Construction & Construction Stages of the Project.

Public consultations were carried out during Planning & Design Stages and Public Issues are being

addressed during implementation to ensure that any of the Stakeholders are not affected adversely on

the Project Implementation and to minimize the avoidable effects. At present, all the complaints &

issues raised by the Public are inquired and solutions were given for the satisfaction of every

Stakeholder.
