PUCSL fires...

PUCSL in a letter dated February 3, 2020 requested a report from the CEB on the power outages without prior notice to the public and without obtaining prior Commission approval.

In the second letter dated February 6, 2020, PUCSL said unapproved load shedding amounts to an offence under the provision of the Sri Lanka Electricity Act No.20 of 2009 (as amended).

Sri Lanka’s electricity supply is currently in a crisis amid increasing demand against a stagnant supply.

Sri Lanka hasn’t commissioned a single power plant in the last four years. Lower rainfall is also affecting the hydro power generation.
