The Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) states that the decision on whether any more power cuts will be implemented or not, will be revealed today (13 ).
CEB Chairman Dr.
Thilak Siyambalapitya said that the choice will be communicated at 10.00 a.m.
today.The CEB chose to carry out island-wide power cuts on Monday (10) and Tuesday (11 ), as an outcome of an issue which emerged at the Norochcholai Coal Power Plant, where the automated procedure system has detached all three generators, while restoring the island-wide blackout that took place on Sunday (09 ).
Appropriately, one-and-a-half-hour blackouts were executed in between 3.30 p.m.
and 9.30 p.m.
affecting the entire island to handle the electrical energy need effectively.However, no scheduled power cuts were executed the other day (12) as the CEB confirmed that it was possible to meet the Poya Day lower demand with the available generation capacity.
