Sri Lanka’s Minister of Power and Energy Kanchana Wijesekera says that a payment of USD $34 million was made yesterday for a shipment of furnace oil, also known as HFO or heavy fuel oil.He said that the cargo will be unloaded today and will be used for power generation and industries.In a twitter message, the minister further said that they intend to maintain the current two-and-a-half hour daily power cuts as it is until the Norochcholai power plant is connected back to the grid. A group of Chinese engineers are currently in Sri Lanka to carry out urgent maintenance work at the Norochcholai coal power plant, which was to be carried out 2 years ago but had to be postponed because of the Covid-19 pandemic.The maintenance work is expected to take around 75 days during which the national grid will not receive full power from the Norochcholai coal power plant. .
