The Public Utilities Commission of Sri Lanka (PUCSL) has approved the request of the CEB for power cuts of two hours and 20 minutes from 23rd to 25th September.
The decision was taken after considering the unavailability of Old Laxapana Stage 1, lack of fuel availability at Westcoast and sudden increase in demand, according to the PUCSL.
The power cut schedule is as follows:
