COLOMBO (News 1st) - The Ceylon Electricity Board says that the repairs of generator 1 of the Norochcholai power plant will be concluded within the next 4 days. 

Generator 1 of the Norochcholai power plant underwent a technical failure, resulting in an islandwide power outage. 

Spokesperson of the CEB Engineer Noel Priyantha says that meanwhile generator 3 has now been reconnected to the national grid. 

Repairs of generator 2 have also been completed. 

He says that due to the generation of hydropower and Christmas vacations, the electricity demand has reduced. 

The percentage of hydropower generated yesterday is 59.12%.
