As the government only allows projects up to, the three wind farms are registered under three different company names, namely,, and.

Mampuri-I

Mampuri-I is built on a strip of land, and utilizes eight wind turbines with rotor diameters of at rated wind speeds of. 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.
