Power cuts could be minimum if catchment areas meet continuous rain: Power and Energy Minister

Date:

If the catchment areas meet a continuous rainfall, the Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) will be able to minimise the power cuts in the country, said Power and Energy Minister Kanchana Wijesekara.

In a tweet yesterday (14) the Minister noted that the CEB will reduce power cuts during the weekend due to the increase in hydro-generation and low energy demand, adding that despite the hope of rain being continuous to the catchment areas of the country, the CEB will manage the water resources available for future power generation.
