The Public Utilities Commission says that there will be power cuts from today (15).
Its chairman Janaka Ratnayake stated that the situation has arisen due to the restriction of hydropower generation and the stock of fuel in the power plants and that the public will be informed of the method of power cuts this afternoon.
He said that instead of the traditional power cuts that divide Sri Lanka into four categories, a new system for power cuts will be developed by managing the existing resources and supply in a manner that will cause the least inconveniences to the people.
