Ace Horana Power Station

Power station in Horana, Sri Lanka

The Ace Horana Power Station was a 25-megawatt thermal power station in Horana, Sri Lanka. The plant operated from 2002-2012 similar to that of the Ace Matara Power Station, and utilized four 6.3 MW Wärtsilä 18V32LN generating units. The plant was decommissioned in 2012 after its 10-year PPA expired.[1] The power station was originally planned to be built in Anuradhapura, but was later changed to Horana due to environmental and religious protests.[2][3]
