EFL delivers seamless logistics for Richardson Serendib 5 MW solar power plant

EXPO Lanka Freight Ltd., (EFL) Project Division, has been the logistics partner for the Richardson Serendib 5 MW Solar Power Plant in Hiripitiya, Kurunegala, a landmark project that strengthens Sri Lanka’s renewable energy portfolio.

- 

This project falls under the category of establishing a renewable energy generation facility with an installed capacity of 5 MW, which exceeds 1 MW, thereby meeting the minimum power generation capacity requirements specified in Gazette Notification No. 2083/33 dated 10 Aug 2018. This compliance also made the project eligible for the Bonded Warehouse Facility scheme, a critical enabler that ensured smart import handling and an efficient project facilitation process.

From the outset, Project Division played a central role in securing the necessary regulatory and procedural approvals after Richarsdon’s Finance Ministry’s endorsement letter, together with the A2 form process, streamlined documentation requirements, while Customs Bonding approval empowered us to implement a fast-track bonded warehouse process. These measures helped our client avoid costly port delays and demurrages, ensuring that equipment moves directly to the project site without unnecessary interruptions.
