The Broadlands Dam (also known as the Broadlands Hydropower Project by the developers) is a Шаблон:Nowrap run-of-the-river hydroelectric complex currently under construction in Kitulgala, Sri Lanka. The project is expected to be completed in 2020, and will consist of two dams, and a power station downstream.[1][2]

With an estimated annual generation capacity of Шаблон:Nowrap, the facility will be the country's last major hydroelectric project, due to the exhaustion of island-wide hydropower potential. Construction of the project was ceremonially inaugurated by the Шаблон:Nowrap Шаблон:Nowrap at the auspicious time of 11:01 on Шаблон:Nowrap.[3][4]

Approximately Шаблон:Nowrap project funding was met via credit arrangements made with the Chinese government, with the rest borne via a loan from the local Hatton National Bank.[5][6][7] The construction contract of the project was granted to the China National Electric Equipment Corporation (CNEEC).[8]

Dams and reservoirs

The primary gravity dam measuring Шаблон:Convert in height and Шаблон:Convert in length is being constructed across the Maskeliya Oya at Kitulgala, and will supply water to the power station via a Шаблон:Convert penstock measuring Шаблон:Convert in diameter.[9]

A secondary gravity weir, measuring Шаблон:Convert and Шаблон:Convert in height and length, is also to be built in the vicinity, over the nearby Kehelgamu Oya, to provide additional hydroelectric capacity. The weir, to be called the Kehelgamu Weir, will create a catchment area of Шаблон:Convert, and will provide additional head to the penstock of the main dam via a Шаблон:Convert tunnel.[9]

The penstock from the main dam will feed a power station consisting of two Шаблон:Nowrap turbines, each of Шаблон:Nowrap and a rated discharge of Шаблон:Nowrap.[9]
