Sri Lanka's electricity demand is currently met by nine thermal power stations, fifteen large hydroelectric power stations, and fifteen wind farms, with a smaller share from small hydro facilities and other renewables such as solar. Most hydroelectric and thermal/fossil fuel–based power stations in the country are owned and/or operated by the government via the state-run Ceylon Electricity. Non-renewableAs of 2015, 1,464 MW of the total thermal installed capacity was from state-owned power stations: 900 MW from , 380 MW from the state-owned portion of , 160 MW from .
Hydroelectricity has played a very significant role in the national installed power capacity since it was introduced in the 1950s, with over 50% of the total grid capacity met by in 2000–2010. .
