Permission has been granted for the emergency purchase of power considering the current situation in the country, says the Public Utilities Commission of Sri Lanka (PUCSL). The commission pointed out there had been no need for a power cut so far despite the prevailing dry weather. He further said, “There is a dialogue today as to whether there will be a power cut in the near future. We have already taken steps to obtain the permission of the Commission to obtain additional power in the event of such an urgent need. However, considering the situation, I do not think there will be a power cut in the near future.”
