WindForce Strengthens Renewable Energy Portfolio with Grid-Scale Battery Storage and Floating Solar Projects
Renewable energy company WindForce PLC has increased its overall power generation capacity to approximately 268 MW following the commissioning of two new clean energy projects—a standalone battery energy storage system in Anuradhapura and a floating solar power plant.
In a disclosure to the Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE) on the 18th, the company announced that both projects had been commissioned on the same date, marking a significant expansion of its renewable energy portfolio.
The newly commissioned 10 MW / 40 MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) in Anuradhapura is Sri Lanka’s first standalone, grid-scale battery storage facility. The project was developed by StoreX (Pvt) Ltd, a joint venture between WindForce PLC and Vidullanka PLC.
The BESS project follows the initial award announcement made on 13 May 2026. The Anuradhapura facility represents the first of 13 planned battery energy storage projects, which are expected to collectively provide 130 MW / 520 MWh of storage capacity to the national power grid.
In parallel, WindForce commissioned a 5 MW floating solar power plant developed by Diyajanani (Pvt) Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of the company.
The project’s Standardised Power Purchase Agreement (SPPA) was previously disclosed on 28 November 2025. The floating solar facility is expected to produce approximately 9 GWh of renewable electricity annually.
The two projects further expand WindForce’s presence in Sri Lanka’s renewable energy sector, combining large-scale energy storage with floating solar generation as the company continues to grow its clean energy portfolio.
