Disna MUDALIGE
The Kerawalapitiya Yugadanavi power station is functioning at full
capacity of 300MW from yesterday morning, the Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB)
said.
The power added to the National Grid from the Kerawalapitiya dual
power plant dropped following a technical error and 200 MW was restored
last Friday. The remaining 100 MW has been added to the National Grid
from yesterday.
The CEB also stated that hydro power generation has once again
dropped to 12.8 percent due to the extended dry weather in catchment
areas. It said that the hydro power generation only amounted to 3.6GWh
as at Wednesday.
Reservoir storage stood at 293.7 GWh by Wednesday. Thermal power
generation has increased up to 87.2 percent of the total energy
requirement.
