The Deputy General Manager of Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) Senajith Dassanayaka said today the first phase of the Norochcholai Coal Power Plant (NCPP) which was shut down in early January was re-connected to the national grid on an experimental basis

Mr. Dassanayake said with this re-connection, 200 megawatts of power would be added to the national grid and assured that it would be operated at full capacity of 300 megawatts within the next two weeks. “The power plant is running on test and it would be restored at full capacity within the next two weeks. Repeated tests were being carried out to monitor the operations,” Mr. Dassanayake said. (Ajith Siriwardana)
