The Ministry of Power and Energy states that the power supply to some parts of the island will be suspended at night due to a technical fault in one of the generators of the Norochcholai Thermal Power Plant.
Accordingly, if the system does not have the required capacity to manage the situation, power some areas will have to be cut off for 30-45 minutes at night, said Power and Energy Ministry spokesman Sulakshana Jayawardena.
However, he said that this was a temporary situation and that the technical fault of the third generator at the Norochcholai power plant was being rectified and that it would be reconnected to the system as soon as the repairs were completed.
