Kelanitissa Combined Cycle Power Station to shut down tomorrow
January 13, 2023 08:45 am
Kelanitissa Combined Cycle Power Station will have to be shut down between 7 a.m. and 8 a.m. tomorrow (Jan 14) due to a shortage of naphtha, the Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) warns.
According to the CEB, the Ceylon Petroleum Corporation (CPC) has provided only 1.1 million litres of naphtha for the operations of the power station, which is sufficient until tomorrow morning.
To avoid being shut down tomorrow, the power station is in need of 5.35 million more litres of naphtha, the CEB said further, adding that the CPC has not agreed to provide this amount.
