PUCSL and CEB launch pilot project to switch bulk customers to backup generators

The Public Utilities Commission of Sri Lanka (PUCSL) and the Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) say they have successfully implemented a pilot project of the country’s bulk supply consumers temporarily using their standby generators today (17).

PUCSL chairman Janaka Ratnayake said that in total around 70 megawatts in standby generators had operated between 4.00 p.m. and 6.00 p.m. today.

The initiatives include a programme for standby generators of bulk supply consumers to be operational for specific periods of time.
