The Public Utilities Commission of Sri Lanka has granted approval for the Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) to purchase power from private power plants until the Norochcholai Power Plant is restored, disclosed Energy Minister Kanchana Wijesekara.
In a tweet, the Energy Minister said the Ceylon Petroleum Corporation (CEYPETCO) will also provide the necessary fuel oil – diesel, naptha and furnace oil – requirements to the CEB to maintain the power generation without having to extend power cuts from tomorrow (28).
