dbo:abstract
  • The Kankesanthurai Power Station (also commonly referred to as the Koolair Power Station) was a fuel oil-run thermal power station which was commissioned as part of the urgent plan by the Ceylon Electricity Board to overcome the 1990s power crisis. Construction of the power station began in August 1998, and the power station was commissioned three months later on 4 November 1998 in Kankesanthurai, in the Jaffna Peninsula of Sri Lanka. It was the biggest power station in the Jaffna region, at that time. Despite having an original installed capacity of 19.4 MW, the power station had mostly operated in the 8-15 MW range due to conflict damage caused by artillery fire to the plant (and neighbouring Kankesanthurai Cement Factory) in May 2000. The operators were unable to repair the damage due to the insurance company rejecting the claim, stating that it was due to war, and not due to terrorism for which it was originally insured for. (en)
