Power Ministry seeks approval to purchase 300Mw
The Power and Energy Ministry will seek cabinet approval to purchase 300 Mw of power as emergency supplies to overcome shortages.
As many of 12 proposals including plans to purchase power from the private sector has been placed before the cabinet for consideration.
Power and Energy Minister Dullas Alahapperuma told the Sunday Times that the power supplies are needed to meet shortages due to drought conditions, as well as meet the increased demand within the year.
“I have decided to submit all proposals to the Cabinet and allow the cabinet to take a final decision”, he said.
He said he was expecting that the proposals will be approved by next month as the supplies were needed soon.
A senior CEB official said that the shortage of power has been aggravated with the power supply agreements with power producers due to end resulting in the loss of 170 Mw between April and June.
