The Czech government has agreed to provide financial assistance to recommence the construction work of proposed Inginiyagala hydropower plant in Ampara. The agreement had been reached during the discussions between Sri Lankan Premier D.M. Jayaratne and Czech Republic Minister of Trade and Industry Martin Kocourek.
The cost of the first phase of the Inginiyagala hydropower plant is estimated at US$ 35 million.
The proposed hydropower plant is expected to ease the burden of meeting growing demand for power consumption in the country.
The Czech government has also expressed willingness to assist Sri Lanka in combating environment pollution in Colombo and Kandy.
