The India Sri Lanka HVDC Grid Interconnectionis a
proposedproject to link the national grids of India and Sri
Lanka. Theproject involves the construction of a HVDC
connectionbetween Madurai in southern India, andAnuradhapura in central Sri Lanka, through the Palk Strait.
The link would measure 285kilometres (177 mi) in length,
including 50 kilometres (31 mi) of submarine cables, and
would takemore than three years to construct. It would be
implemented by the Power Grid Corporation of India Limited
and CeylonElectricity Board.[1]
Having been contemplated since 1970, the project has four
implementation alternatives in consideration:[2]
MaduraiAnuradhapura
TuticorinPuttalam
MaduraiPuttalam
MaduraiAnuradhapura (with back-to-back DC)
The connection will be developed in two phases, of which the
first phase, scheduled to complete in the near-future, would
enable thetransmission of 500 MW between the two
countries. The second phase would enable a 1,000 MW
transmission capacity, the target capacity.
It is expected to reach a total development cost of approximately US$800,000,000. Such aconnection betwe
the two countries would enable the nations to sell excess energy, thus saving valuable resources.[3]
