THE Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) and the Government of Sri Lanka have signed a loan agreement for the Kerawalapitiya-Port L Second Transmission Line Project, under which AllB will provide $ 52 million in sovereign-backed financing to help Sri Lanka unlock its renewable energy potential and advance sustainable development.

The project involves the design, supply, constructing, testing, and commissioning of a 220kV single-circuit underground cable system linking the Kerawalapitiya Switching Station to the Colombo Port L Grid Substation.

As the second underground cable on this route, it will complement the first line commissioned in 2019, which will soon be insufficient to meet the projected electricity demand in the Greater Colombo area.
