Vidullanka PLC, a pioneer in the renewable energy space in Sri Lanka, Africa and South America, recently set foot in Rwanda. Solidifying its presence as a global renewable energy power generation company, Vidullanka PLC has won the contract to improve the hydropower plant operations of Rwanda Mountain Tea Ltd (RMT).

Rwanda Mountain Tea has five hydro power plants with a cumulative capacity of  21 MW and 15 tea factories, with an annual production volume of over 25,000 metric tons of dry tea.

Vidullanka’s Hydro power operations and maintenance experience in  Sri Lanka and Africa, coupled  with its  efficient and  productive  technology  use, effective staff utilisation and consultancy services carried out at external power plants have paved the way for them to take up the assignment to work in collaboration with RMT.

The scope of work of this engagement will be to increase their Hydro Power generation as well as to reduce the cost of operations, maintenance, and repairs.

An initial site evaluation was conducted by the Director, Operations of the company and discussions were held between the CEO and management of RMT where an agreement was signed to commence the work on March 4 onwards.
