Parliament, Dec 10 (Daily Mirror) - Both the Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) and the Power and Energy Ministry are carrying out investigations to determine the cause of the sudden island-wide power blackout yesterday, State Minister Indika Anurudda said.
The State Minister said a greater percentage of power was being generated through hydropower at the time of the failure.
"There was a demand of 1,500 MW at the time of the failure while only 300 MW was being generated through the Norochcholai power plant," he said.
