The Mampuri Wind Farms (also known as the Senok Wind Farms, after its developers) are a set of three wind farms located near the Lakvijaya Power Station, on the Kalpitiya peninsula, in Mampuri, Puttalam District, Sri Lanka. The wind farms, referred to as Mampuri-I, Mampuri-II, and Mampuri-III, was built successively, and consists of eighteen Suzlon wind turbines ranging from to . Mampuri-I was commissioned on 22 March 2010, and was the first wind farm in the country to reach the installed capacity threshold.[1] [2] [3] As the government only allows projects up to, the three wind farms are registered under three different company names, namely,, and .
Mampuri-I is built on a 51NaN1 strip of land, and utilizes eight wind turbines[4] with rotor diameters of 640NaN0 at rated wind speeds of 141NaN1.[5] Per the government's standardized power purchase agreement, the Ceylon Electricity Board pays Senok for every kilowatt hour generated for the first eight years, followed by an adjusted rate thereafter. This phase created 40 jobs in the region, and cost to build. 55% of this was directly funded by Senok, with the remainder was funded by the World Bank.[6] [7]

Mampuri-II and Mampuri-III were constructed almost simultaneously after Mampuri-I. These wind farms utilizes five wind turbines each. The wind turbines measures 800NaN0 tall, with rotor diameters of 880NaN0, and has rated wind speed of 141NaN1.[8]
