Adani Green’s wind power project raises environmental concerns in Sri Lanka

Adani Green Energy’s ambitious wind power project, valued at US$442 million, situated in Mannar and Pooneryn, is currently undergoing a technical review by the Sri Lanka Sustainable Energy Authority (SLSEA) following a public consultation process on its Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA).

The project, which aims to add 250 MW in Mannar and 234 MW in Pooneryn to the national grid, has encountered several public complaints regarding its potential impact on the Central Asian Flyway, migratory birds, marine life, and other environmental concerns, as outlined in the SLSEA report.
