The third power generator at the Norochcholai Power Plant, which was recently repaired and added to the national grid from yesterday, has been shut down again this afternoon (01) due to a technical fault, losing about 270 megawatts and leading to power outages in several parts of the island.
Commenting on the matter, Janaka Rathnayake, Chairman of the Public Utilities Commission of Sri Lanka (PUCSL) stated that there will be no need for a power cut due to the technical fault at the Plant.
