The provisional approvals are for two wind projects of 286MW in Mannar and 234MW in Pooneryn, he said.
He said this while addressing the officials of the Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) and Sustainable Development Authority today (August 17) to discuss the progress of renewable energy projects.
Minister Wijesekera added that agreements will be signed next week, pertaining to 21 of the 46 projects that were delayed due to the CEB Act amendments.
