The nationwide blackout in Sri Lanka on Monday was caused due to a mistake by an Electrical Superintendent during maintenance work at the Kerawalapitiya grid sub-station, a top CEB official told Ada Derana.
The entire nation of Sri Lanka was left without power on Monday (Aug. 17) in an over seven-hour outage following a failure at the electricity facility.
Meanwhile, CEB Chairman Vijitha Herath told media that there will be no power cuts from today as the Norochcholai power plant was now up and running.
