A source within the Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) alleged that around 117 MT of newly supplied coal is expected to generate only around 285 MW of electricity, compared with previous Russian coal stocks of 107–109 MT, which produced approximately 300 MW.
This discrepancy, the source claims, highlights a drop in operational efficiency, as a larger quantity of coal is required to generate the same amount of power.
While the cost comparison between the previous and current suppliers shows no major difference, sources noted that the South African coal costs only $ 1.50 per tonne less than that of the Russian supplier.
