Norochcholai Unit 1 added to national grid



Unit 1 of the Norochcholai Coal Power Plant, which experienced a breakdown on August 15, has been restored and added to the national grid yesterday, the Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) said.

CEB media spokesman Andrew Navamoni said after resuming operation, 300 MW of power added to the main grid and it would help to reduce the power cut duration.

Owing to the malfunction, the duration of daily power interruptions was also extended to three hours.

Meanwhile, the Public Utilities Commission of Sri Lanka (PUCSL) has requested the CEB General Manager to inquire about the possibility of reducing the daily powercut duration as the power plant resumed operations (Chaturanga Samarawickrama)
