Uthuru Janani Power Station

The Uthuru Janani Power Station (also sometimes called the New Chunnakam Power Station, as it is the replacement of the former Chunnakam Power Station) is a 24-megawatt thermal power station commissioned on 1 January 2013, in Chunnakam, Sri Lanka. The power station consists of three diesel-run generating units with a capacity of 8 MW each, producing 176 GWh annually. Built and operated by the Ceylon Electricity Board for Rs. 3.5 billion, the power station costs Rs. 17.86 to generate one unit (1 KWh) of electricity.

The plant is built approximately 300 m north-west of the 36 MW privately owned Northern Power Station, and was ceremonially opened by former President Mahinda Rajapaksa. The facility also consists of in-house refinery, fuel storage, and waste disposal system.
