The Embilipitiya Power Station (also sometimes referred to as Ace Power Embilipitiya) is a 100 MW thermal power station in Embilipitiya, Sri Lanka. The heavy fuel oil-run power station was commissioned in March 2005, and was operated by Aitken Spence (sometimes shortened to Ace). The power station consisted of fourteen Caterpillar 16CM32C generation units of 7.11 MW each, which consumed approximately 550 tonnes of fuel oil per day. The Ministry of Power and Energy discontinued purchasing power from the private power station after its license expired in 2015, and hence was subsequently decommissioned.[1][2] The facility cost approximately Rs. 8 billion to develop, and is built on a 44-acre (18 ha) land on a 33-year lease.[1][3]
