The Power cut for today (15) will remain at 1 hour & 20 minutes and will be extended from tomorrow (16), said the Public Utilities Commission of Sri Lanka.
It said that this was due to the breakdown of Unit 1 at the Norochcholai Coal Power Plant, as it would take approximately 14 to 16 days to repaid.
The official announcement of the power cut will be released once approved by PUCSL.
Sri Lanka's Minister of Power and Energy Kanchana Wijesekera announced that there has been a breakdown in Unit 1 of the Norochcholai Power Plant.
"Technical staff is working to identify the fault. Unit 2 is undergoing scheduled maintenance work. Unit 3 will continue to operate," he tweeted.
The Minister said that West Coast & other Fuel Power Plants will be used to manage the supply.
