Janaka Ratnayake, Chairman of the Public Utilities Commission of Sri Lanka (PUCSL) said the Ceylon Electricity Board has been given approval to impose a seven-and-a-half hour power cut tomorrow.
The Public Utilities Commission states that there will be a 5-hour power cut during the day and two and a half hours at night tomorrow (02).
”PUCSL is reluctantly compelled to approve CEB request (due to nonavailability of fuel ) for 7 and half hours long power cut island-wide for tomorrow (2/3/22),” said the PUCSL Chairman.
“Power shedding for all areas will be 5 hours between 8 am to 6 pm. And further 2 and half hours between 6 pm to 11 pm,” he added.
