Invest in or provide project financing for large-scale ground-mounted and floating Solar PV power generation to supply the generated capacity to the national grid for residential and industrial/commercial consumption.
Over 50 solar ground mounted on-grid plants and 40 private sector companies contributing to about 100 MW capacity (17). In case of Solar PV rooftop industry, about 450 project developers/service providers registered at SLSEA (18). Examples of companies active in the IOA space:
WindForce ventured into solar in 2016 with its domestic and overseas solar power projects in Ukraine, Uganda and Pakistan. In 2021 it had 10 (6- SL and 4 - overseas) ground mounted solar and 2 rooftop solar projects with a total capacity of 136.23 MW. All projects have been successful in generating electricity for national use (10).
