Davora Group is known as a Sri Lankan leader in renewable energy—especially in the field of hydropower. Since its establishment in 1999, the company has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to sustainability, innovation, and empowering communities through clean energy solutions.

A Legacy in Hydropower

At the heart of Davora’s operations lies its expertise in mini hydropower. Over the years, the group has developed and completed 11 mini hydropower projects registered with Sri Lanka’s Board of Investment. These projects harness the natural flow of water to generate electricity, providing a reliable and eco-friendly alternative to fossil fuels.

Going beyond commercial projects, Davora—through its associate ENCO—has also pioneered community-based village hydropower projects, completing 18 successful installations across rural Sri Lanka since 1997. These systems have brought energy independence and development opportunities to villages once left in the dark, making Davora a true champion of grassroots sustainability.

Expanding Clean Energy Globally

Davora’s vision isn’t limited to Sri Lanka. The company has extended its renewable energy footprint into Africa and Asia, working with governments and organizations in countries like Rwanda, Burundi, and Liberia. These collaborations have helped expand hydropower infrastructure in regions where energy access is still limited—proving Davora’s expertise has both local impact and global relevance.

Leading with Innovation and Expertise

Davora Group is led by Dr. Nishantha Nanayakkara, a highly respected figure in the field of renewable energy, with a PhD in System Modeling and Renewable Energy Generation. Under his leadership, the group has integrated advanced technology and sustainable design into its projects—ensuring long-term efficiency, reliability, and environmental harmony.

Dr. Nanayakkara’s experience also includes collaborations with the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) and partnerships with Japanese renewable energy innovators, reinforcing Davora’s position as a forward-thinking and globally connected energy company.

A Sustainable Vision for the Future

Hydropower is just one part of Davora’s larger commitment to renewable energy transformation. The group continues to develop projects that not only generate electricity but also contribute to socio-economic development, carbon emission reduction, and energy security.

With a proven track record and a passion for clean energy, Davora Group is helping to shape a greener, more sustainable future—one hydropower project at a time.
