Unit 1 of Norochcholai power plant to be restored by next week

 

Unit 1 of the Lakvijaya Power Plant in Norochcholai, which remains inoperative since last week, will be reconnected to the national grid by next week, the Ceylon Electricity Board says. 

After Unit 1 is back in operation, 300 megawatts of electricity will be added to the national grid. 

Meanwhile, due to the essential maintenance work of Unit 2, the national grid also lost another 270 megawatts of electricity.
