Ace Embilipitiya Power Station

The Ace Embilipitiya Power Station (also sometimes referred to as the Embilipitiya Power Station) is a thermal power station in Embilipitiya, Sri Lanka. The heavy fuel oil-run power station was commissioned in March 2005, and was operated by Aitken Spence (sometimes shortened to "Ace"). The power station consisted of fourteen generation units of each, which consumed approximately of fuel oil per day. The Ministry of Power and Energy discontinued purchasing power from the private power station after its license expired in 2015, and hence was subsequently decommissioned.
In March 2016 Ceylon Electricity Board decided to recommission the plant due to high electricity demand in the country. The facility cost approximately Rs. 8 billion to develop, and is built on a land on a 33-year lease.
