All generators of the Norochcholai Lakvijaya Power Plant, which were temporarily shut down for maintenance work, are restored to normal operation. A spokesperson for the Plant stated that accordingly, all three generators have now been connected to the national power grid. As a result, an electricity capacity of 900 megawatts was added to the system.
On 3 November of last year (2025), one of the generators of the coal Plant was shut down for routine maintenance, while another unit became inactive on 20 December due to a sudden technical fault. The Ceylon Electricity Board noted that both of these generators are now operational after completing the necessary repairs.
