Power cut duration to be reduced over weekend

The Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) will reduce power interruptions over the weekend due to the increase in hydropower generation and low energy demand, Minister of Power & Energy Kanchana Wijesekera says.

If the rainfall in catchment areas continues, CEB will keep the power cuts to a minimum, the lawmaker said further in a tweet posted today.

However CEB will manage the water resources available for future power generation, he added.
