A breakdown has reportedly occurred at the Unit One of the Norochcholai Coal Power Plant.
The technical staff is currently working to identify the fault, according to Energy Minister Kanchana Wijesekara.
The generator of the Unit Two of the Plant has currently been out for maintenance and only the Unit Three will continue to operate.
Nevertheless, until the collapse of the Unit One is repaired, the power supply will be managed using the Yugadanavi and other fuel plants, the Minister added.
