March 25, 2022 12:02 pm
The water levels at reservoirs are rapidly decreasing at present due to the lack of rainfall in the catchment areas supplying water to hydropower plants.
Owing to the prevailing situation, the rolling power interruptions could be extended to at least 10 hours from next week, Ada Derana learns.
Some areas in the country are already experiencing daily power interruptions of nearly six hours.
In the meantime, it is reported that the Kerawalapitiya power plant has temporarily halted its operations due to not receiving fuel stocks required for power generation activities.
