Power outages were reported in many parts of the island today.
Power outages lasted for about an hour in some areas and several hours in other areas.
The situation came to a head even after officials assured the public that there would be no power cuts today.
Due to a malfunction again, the third generator at the Norochcholai Coal Power Plant was stopped and lost 270 megawatts of electricity to the national grid today.
The third generator was reactivated yesterday after repairing a technical fault in December.
