The Ministry of Power and Energy states that the power supply will be cut off zone-wise until further notice from tonight (12).
Accordingly, the power will be cut off from 5.30 pm to 9.30 pm.
The Ministry of Power and Energy states that the power cut is due to a fault in a private power plant located at the Kelani Tissa Power Plant Complex.
Due to this technical fault, power outages were reported in many parts of the island last night as well.
