Energy Minister, Kumara Jayakody stated that although no power cuts have been implemented thus far despite the ongoing fuel crisis, there is a possibility that such measures may be required in the future.

Responding to a question raised by Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa under Standing Order 27.2 in Parliament yesterday (17) regarding the potential implementation of power cuts, he said: “We are currently maintaining the supply without interrupting power even for a single hour. However, there may come a time when we have to implement power cuts.”
