The Northern Power Station, is a 36 MW thermal power station built in Chunnakam, Jaffna District, in Sri Lanka. The power station was built after the Northern Power company won the bid made by the Ceylon Electricity Board to urgently setup a power station in the region as a response to the 1990s/2000s power crisis.[1] During its operations, the power plant had faced a number of legal cases due to the alleged contamination of water resources in the region.[2]
