New Power Projects

Several new power projects commenced during this time with the change in government. The UNP government under the leadership of J.R.Jayawardena in 1977 made vast development program involving Five large scale power projects.I was involved in providing power supplies to these projects. It was Bowatenna, Kothmale and Victoria the three of five power projects where my involvement were high.I had to construct primary substations and other distribution substations in each case.There was no power line in the close proximity as such several new lengthy 33kv lines was a must.
