💨 HayWind Begins Turbine Installation at 50MW Mannar Wind Farm

• Milestone: HayWind One (Hayleys Fentons) has commenced turbine erection for its 50MW Mannar Wind Farm, with the first two 5MW turbines fully assembled. All 10 turbines are on track for commissioning by December 2026. • Technical Highlights: The project features 5MW turbines standing at 186.5m tip height with 76.5m rotor blades. Heavy lifting is powered by a 900-tonne crawler crane—the largest ever deployed for a Sri Lankan wind project—via Hayleys Advantis and Sarans India. • Economic Impact: Operating under a 20-year PPA, the farm will deliver ~207 million kWh of clean energy annually to the national grid, saving Sri Lanka an estimated LKR 100 Bn in foreign exchange on fossil fuel imports over its lifecycle. • National Context: Advances Sri Lanka's renewable energy transition and power sector diversification using GWO-certified local engineering capabilities.
