The operations at the Kelanitissa Combined Cycle Power Plant have been stalled since this (22) morning incurring a drop of 165 megawatts from the national grid, hours after the operations at the Norochcholai Coal Power Plant, which had been stalled due to maintenance, were restored.
The power plant has stalled its operations due to the absence of sufficient stocks of naphtha owned by the Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB).
Meanwhile, the Norochcholai Power Plant is said to be fully operational.
