The Norochcholai coal-fired power plant, which recently suffered a system failure, is expected to remain out of operation until Friday, delaying its reconnection to the national grid.
Authorities confirm that repair work is already underway, but full restoration will take more time than initially anticipated.
As a result, the current power cut schedule will continue, though there will be no power cuts on the Poya holiday due to reduced electricity demand.
An official announcement regarding power cuts for Thursday and Friday will be made based on the progress of the ongoing repairs.
