Colombo (LNW): The Unit 3 of the Norochcholai Coal Power Plant will be shut down from June 3, 2023 for a period of 100 days due to scheduled major overhaul maintenance, announced Power and Energy Minister Kanchana Wijesekara.
He added that power generation will be managed without any power cuts through other thermal power plants.
Wijesekara further noted that the 30th cargo of coal is currently being unloaded at the Plant, and the full coal requirement of the Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB), thereby, will be completed.
No blackouts or power cuts will occur due to the shortage of coal, he assured.
