Sri Lanka’s Vidullanka secures $1.35mn mini hydro contract in Fiji

ECONOMYNEXT — Sri Lanka energy firm Vidullanka has received a Letter of Acceptance for a 1.35 million US dollar mini hydro Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) contract in Fiji, the company said in a market filing.

The contract was awarded by the Department of Energy under Fiji’s Ministry of Public Works, Meteorological Services and Transport.

Under the project scope, Vidullanka will execute the turnkey EPC works, covering the design, supply, installation, testing, and commissioning of a 100-kilowatt (kW) mini hydro facility located at Buca Village in Fiji.

“This contract marks Vidullanka PLC’s entry into the Pacific island region’s renewable energy sector, building upon the Group’s established track record of international EPC execution in South America (Guyana) and East Africa,” the company said.

The company had submitted its original bid for the tender on December 18, 2025, and received the official Letter of Acceptance dated October 13, 2026.

“The award further reinforces the Group’s strategy to diversify its revenue streams into foreign-currency-denominated EPC and specialized technical engineering service contracts,” the company stated.

Vidullanka said it will now complete the procedural and administrative formalities required under the tender conditions leading up to the execution of the formal agreement with the Fijian awarding agency.

The company added that further disclosures will be made to the Colombo Stock Exchange once the formal contracts are signed. (Colombo/Oct16/2026)
