The Uthuru Janani Power Station (also sometimes called the New Chunnakam Power Station, as it is the successor of the former Chunnakam Power Station) is a 24-megawatt thermal power station commissioned on 1 January 2013, in Chunnakam, Sri Lanka. The power station consists of three diesel-run generating units with a capacity of 8 MW each, producing 176 GWh annually. Built and operated by the Ceylon Electricity Board for Rs. 3.5 billion, the power station costs Rs. 17.86 to generate one unit (1 KWh) of electricity.[1][2]
The plant is built approximately 300 m (980 ft) north-west of the 36 MW privately owned Northern Power Station, and was ceremonially opened by former President Mahinda Rajapaksa. The facility also consists of in-house refinery, fuel storage, and waste disposal system.[3]
