An official of the Power and Energy Ministry said the project, scheduled to be launched next month, will meet approximately 8% of the electricity demand.
He pointed out that 82% of the project has already been completed.
Around 300 families from the Moneragala district will benefit in the first step of the project.
The Government has taken a policy decision to provide electricity using natural resources including mini-hydro, biogas, compost fertiliser, the official said.
