No power cuts in Sri Lanka.
Good news for Sri Lankans! The Power and Energy Ministry assures uninterrupted power supply until end of April. This relief comes after concerns of dwindling water reserves in hydropower plants.
The ministry credits the recent heavy rainfall,two months ago for refilling crucial reservoirs. This downpour ensured sufficient water for hydropower generation, Sri Lanka’s main electricity source.
This means uninterrupted power for households and businesses, avoiding disruptions and economic setbacks.
However, the ministry also acknowledges the contribution of the Department of Irrigation’s efficient water management practices. These practices optimize water usage, maximizing hydropower generation.
While this is a welcome reprieve, Sri Lanka needs long-term solutions. Exploring renewable energy like solar and wind power, alongside continued investment in infrastructure, is crucial for future energy security.
For now, Sri Lankans can enjoy the benefits of uninterrupted power. This period allows the government to focus on developing sustainable solutions for a reliable power grid.
