Development of an Electricity Dispatch Database and Dashboard for Sri Lanka

COLOMBO (News 1st ) - USAID and the PUCSL have partnered together to enhance transparency with the development of an Electricity Dispatch Database and Dashboard for Sri Lanka.

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) in collaboration with the Public Utilities Commission of Sri Lanka (PUCSL) launched the Electricity Dispatch Database and Dashboard.

USAID said in a statement the online platform will enhance transparency in the management of Sri Lanka’s power distribution through a visualization platform.

Developed and funded by USAID’s Sri Lanka Energy Program, the Dispatch Data Dashboard is a comprehensive tool that allows stakeholders to access and visualize data relevant to electricity generation, forecasts, costs, reservoir details, and emissions, providing insights into the energy sector’s intricate operational dynamics.

The Dispatch Data Dashboard is anticipated to play a crucial role in driving down generation costs for the Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB).

The public will also have the ability to comprehend the dispatch process, enabling them to raise inquiries and contribute to discussions about the energy sector’s future.
