Power Cuts Scheduled For Today & Tomorrow

COLOMBO (News 1st); The Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) has announced a plan to manage electricity demand across four zones in Sri Lanka today and tomorrow.

This decision follows a nationwide power outage yesterday that caused all three generators at the Lakvijaya Power Plant in Norochcholai to become inoperative.

As part of the power supply management, supply of electricity will be cut off for 1 hour and 30 minutes in each zone between 3:30 p.m. and 10:00 p.m.

The Public Utilities Commission has granted approval for the CEB’s request to implement these measures.
