Power cuts scheduled for today

The Ceylon Electricity Board Engineers’ Union (CEBEU) says that scheduled power cuts would most likely be imposed from tomorrow night (24) due to the furnace oil stocks at several power plants coming to an end.

 

The Sapugaskanda power plant, which adds 108MW to the national grid, is currently completely inoperable due to depletion of furnace oil required for its operation.

 

The CEB says it hopes the Norochcholai power plant will be resume operations and add to the national grid once again by January 26.
