Janaka Ratnayake, Chairman of the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) says that there will be a power cut of two hours for one section and a power cut of three hours for another section today as 541 megawatts of electricity has been lost due to fuel shortages.
Accordingly, a two-hour power cut will be imposed for categories A B C between 4.30 pm and 10.30 pm today.
The rest will have a three-hour power cut within that period.
Island-wide power cuts began yesterday and lasted for two hours for all areas of the country.
