A joint venture between Jyoti Structures and Sri Lankan firm Hayleys Fentons has secured a contract to construct a 220kV transmission line for the National Transmission Network Service Provider. The project is designed to evacuate electricity from the Mullikulam Wind Power Projects, supporting Sri Lanka’s renewable energy integration and expanding the international engineering portfolio of JSL.
Jyoti Structures Limited (JSL), a global engineering firm specializing in power transmission and distribution, and Hayleys Fentons, a prominent Sri Lankan MEP and solar EPC contractor, have established a joint venture to execute a new energy infrastructure project. The partnership will construct a 220kV double circuit transmission line under the Mullikulam Wind Power Transmission Project. This initiative was commissioned by the National Transmission Network Service Provider, the entity recently established to oversee grid operations in Sri Lanka.
The primary objective of the construction is to facilitate the efficient evacuation of power from the Mullikulam wind farms into the national grid. This infrastructure is essential for stabilizing the supply of renewable energy as the country seeks to modernize its electrical network. For the utilities sector, this development represents a critical step in reducing dependence on thermal power by enhancing the capacity to handle intermittent wind-generated electricity.
For international contractors and investors, this contract underscores the strategic importance of regional partnerships in navigating emerging markets. The involvement of Jyoti Structures reinforces its position in the South Asian transmission market, while the collaboration with a local entity like Hayleys Fentons provides necessary ground-level operational support. As South Asian nations prioritize grid resilience and renewable integration, the successful delivery of this high-voltage line may serve as a benchmark for future infrastructure tenders in the region.
