Wind Energy Development
Wind Power Development in Puttalam District
Skylis Lanka Power is developing wind power projects in the Puttalam District, leveraging the region's strong wind resources and our parent company's established industrial presence near Palavi.
Why Puttalam District
Sri Lanka's northwest coast — one of the country's strongest wind corridors.
The Puttalam District benefits from consistent monsoon winds along Sri Lanka's northwest coast. The region is recognised as one of the country's strongest onshore wind resource areas, with wind speeds and patterns that make it technically and economically viable for utility-scale wind power development.
Skylis Lanka Power's parent company, Yuhang (Pvt) Ltd, has operated in the Palavi area of Puttalam District for over fifteen years, building deep relationships with local farming communities and establishing the operational infrastructure that is essential for responsible project development. This local presence gives Skylis Lanka Power a meaningful advantage in site access, community engagement, and regulatory coordination.
Wind power developed in Puttalam can be connected to the national grid via existing CEB transmission infrastructure, reducing the grid integration complexity that affects more remote development sites.
Development Process
From site to grid — a disciplined development pathway.
- 1Wind resource measurement and site assessment
- 2Land and access rights coordination with local communities
- 3Grid interconnection feasibility and CEB coordination
- 4Environmental and regulatory approvals
- 5Technology partner selection and procurement
- 6Construction, commissioning, and grid connection
Wind Power and Sri Lanka's Energy Targets
Sri Lanka has set ambitious targets for renewable electricity generation. Wind power contributes long-duration, cost-competitive clean generation that complements solar production — particularly valuable during evening hours and overcast periods when solar output is reduced.
By developing wind projects in Puttalam, Skylis Lanka Power contributes directly to national energy independence, reduces dependence on imported fuel, and creates skilled employment and economic value in a region that is central to its parent company's long-term operational presence.
Community Integration
Local roots that enable responsible development.
Yuhang (Pvt) Ltd has built its business by working directly with local farmers and rural communities in Puttalam District — sourcing coconut-based materials through a sustainable local supply chain and creating consistent employment for youth and rural households.
This foundation of community trust and local knowledge shapes how Skylis Lanka Power approaches wind development: with transparency, with local participation, and with a long-term commitment to the communities in which we operate.
