Oppose – Welcome to FLC, Rehman. The list you have worked on is certainly unique, and there is a lot of potential here. However, there are several issues remaining, which need to be addressed if this is to have a chance at promotion.
- The start of the lead is a variant of the "This is a list of XXX"-type openings, which have been discouraged at FLC for years. The lead doesn't have anything on how many power stations there are, so that's one option for leading off the article.
- Working on it... Will update here again.

- Hmmm, I'm kind of lost on this. If you have any ideas before me, please feel free to make the change, and I shall join in. Else, will try my best to do it within the next couple of days.

- As I said above, I don't see anything in the lead about how many power stations are in Sri Lanka, which feels like a good topic for a summary sentence that could start a list like this. A relevant statistic or definition is usually a good way to begin a list article, if one is having trouble thinking of an opening.

The bold link in the introduction should be removed, per the
Manual of Style.
- Unbolded.

- @
Giants2008, I have updated
the first table (fossil fuel) to experiment. All seems good, except for the background colour in the row headers. Do you know how to override that?

- I don't know of a way to override the darkening of the rows off the top of my head, but it hasn't been called a problem in other FLCs.

Accessibility guidelines also state that colored items in tables should have matching symbols. In this case, I think it would be better to remove the colors altogether, since they appear to duplicate the purpose of the Status columns. If you want to keep them, please at least consider removing the colors from some of the columns that are not directly related to the status; you could probably just have that column and the first one, rather than adding symbols to everything.

- I get your point on the colours and what
MOS:DTT says. The reason I added the colours to the whole row is because it makes it much easier to identify operational/decommissioned power stations when sorting by Ownership, Name, City, or Capacity. The user does not need to look left-and-right each time. I think this is quite helpful, but if it negatively impacts passing FL, then we can take it off altogether. Waiting for your reply.

- Yeah, that really needs to be changed. We can't be making too many exceptions to the access guidelines because of inconveniences that they cause, or we may invite everyone to make edits that are not generally recommended.

- Alright. I went ahead and updated all the tables. I think it should be okay now.

Fossil-fuel: "after the completion of the Sampur Power Station in late 2017, which is being...". Since the last bit is meant to refer to the station and not the year, some rearranging is in order. Try making a change to "after the late 2017 completion", which requires the least work elsewhere.
- Changed.

Another removable hyphen in "privately-owned". Also, there's one in the next section, along with one in Wind power.
- Removed all.

"except Lakvijaya and Sampur, which runs on coal." "runs" → "run", since there are two of them.

"Further information of each power station...". "of" should probably be "about" or "on".

Are geo-locations possible for the two entries without them?

All references from printed publications such as newspapers should have their publishers italicized, which can be done be changed the publisher= parameter in the cite templates to work=. I count references 11, 15, 16, 20, 21, 22, and 25 as needing such fixes, and there may be more that I missed.
- Updated. Some of the news references does not do printed publications.

I like to offer support for topics that are different from what FLC normally sees, but there are simply too many prose and table issues right now. If you can fix them and satisfy Dudley, though, I would likely strike my oppose.
