The Ministry of Power says there will be no disruptions to the electricity supply in any parts of the island from today (December 10).

The second and third generating plants at the Norochcholai Power Plant are now fully functional, according to the ministry.

Several areas experienced disruptions to the electricity supply over the past few days between 6.00 p.m. and 9.30 p.m. as the operations of the Norochcholai power plant were hampered by the recent major power outage on December 03.

The authorities had stated that it would take at least three days to add its full electricity capacity of 900 MW to the national grid.
