It is reported that the generation activities of Kelanitissa power plant have been stopped by now.
The Kelanitissa Power Plant, which started generating electricity again after a long period of repairs, has had to suspend the generation activities due to a technical fault.
Chairman of the Association of Technical Engineers and Superintendents of Ceylon Electricity Board said that due to damage to the bearing system of the power plant, the generation activities have been stopped. G. U. Nishantha said.
However, Mr. Dhammika Wimalaratne, a member of the Executive Board of the Electricity Board’s Engineer’s Association, had stated to the media that due to the lack of naphtha fuel required for the Kelanitissa power plant, its generation activities have been temporarily stopped.
