The Ministry of Energy says half an hour power disruption will have to be carried out in several parts of the island, with the second generator of the Norochcholai Coal Power Plant malfunctioning.
Media Spokesman of the Ministry Sulakshana Jayawardene said a water leak was reported in the boilers of the power plant adding that the second generator was removed from the national power grid in order to restore the fault.
Jayawardene said power generation will not be able to meet the demand, and therefore a half an hour power cut will be imposed in some areas of the country.
