Norochcholai Unit 3 shuts down for 100 days, no power cuts: Minister
Unit 3 of the Norochcholai Coal Power Plant (NCPP) will be shut down from June 3 for a period of 100 days, Power and Energy Minister Kanchan Wijesekers said.
The shutdown was necessary for scheduled major overhaul maintenance work, he said.
Power generation will be managed without any power cuts through other thermal power plants, said the Minister, adding that the 30th cargo of coal is currently being unloaded at the NCPP.
With the unloading of the coal cargo, the full coal requirement of the Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) for this season will be completed.
There will be no blackouts or power cuts due to coal shortages as speculated earlier by the CEB unions and media reports, assured the minister. (Chaturanga Pradeep Samarawickrama)
