Energy Minister Warns Possible Power Cuts Amid Fuel Crisis

Kumara Jayakodi has indicated that while uninterrupted electricity supply is currently being maintained, the country may have to consider power cuts if fuel constraints persist.

Speaking in Parliament today (17), the Minister responded to a query raised by Sajith Premadasa under Standing Order 27.2 regarding the likelihood of electricity interruptions.

Jayakodi noted that authorities have so far succeeded in providing continuous power without any outages, even for a single hour, despite the ongoing fuel crisis.

However, he cautioned that the situation remains uncertain, adding that power cuts could become unavoidable in the future depending on the availability of fuel resources.
