ABOUT US

Our History

WindForce PLC was incorporated in July 2010 to promote and to handle all aspects of renewable energy developments. Over the years, through its investments in the renewable energy space, what began with a team of 5 individuals including our Managing Director, has now transformed to become the largest Independent Power Producer in the renewable energy generation sector in Sri Lanka and have expanded operations globally.

Since inception, WindForce’s strategy has remained firmly anchored to its mission. Hence, we use a combination of short, medium and long-term planning cycles to enable WindForce to realise its strategic intent, while striking the right balance to safeguard stakeholder interests.

WindForce’s overall strategy is underpinned by four strategic pillars that have been established by scrutinising the list of material topics relevant to the Company.

Integrating ESG to Facilitate Integrated Thinking

Taking on the challenge of GRI reporting four years ago, our organisational processes have evolved to integrate non-financial information into the reports used for monitoring performance at every level, from the factory to the Board. These are affirmed by certifications on environmental and social responsibility, which serve to enhance management of these topics whilst also facilitating access to markets. All these services embed ESG principles into our organisational processes, providing deeper insights into our impacts on society and the environment and stakeholder concerns. These insights facilitate holistic decision-making through integrated thinking, optimising the efficient allocation of finite resources. This information also feeds into our risk management processes, enabling evaluation of potential threats and opportunities which are critical for resource allocation decisions to deliver progress on strategic goals and strengthen the resilience of the Group.

Assurance

  • GRI 2-5

Demonstrating our commitment to transparency and reliability, we obtained limited assurance from Deloitte Sri Lanka, confirming that the sustainability information within our Integrated Annual Report has been prepared in accordance with the GRI Standards.

WE HARNESS WIND POWER TO DELIVER CLEAN, RENEWABLE ELECTRICITY AND REDUCE CARBON EMISSIONS.

Charting the course for clean energy in Sri Lanka, we stand as the nation's pioneering and sole large-scale wind power operator. With a formidable 84.2 MW capacity, we generate 32% of Sri Lanka's total wind energy, a testament to our strategic site selection and operational excellence. Our journey has endowed us with unique advantages, from securing favourable tariffs to cultivating deep in-house expertise spanning the entire lifecycle of wind plants – from initial design to complex component repairs managed at our dedicated workshop. The past fiscal year (FY 2024/25) saw us consolidate our position; while capacity remained steady, generation experienced a marginal decline (2%), reflecting the ongoing impact of previous technical challenges despite mitigation efforts. Our future is one of strategic evolution. We are poised to boost efficiency and output by replacing ageing turbines with innovative, higher-capacity models at our established high-wind locations. Simultaneously, we are unlocking new potential by considering the launch of our specialised repair services as a standalone business, initially serving the domestic market with an eye on South Asian expansion and exploring external applications for our civil design expertise. Aligned with national clean energy targets, we are leveraging our unique foundation and capabilities to drive sustainable growth and solidify our leadership in Sri Lanka's energy transition.
