So in droughts which comes every 10 years ? or so and we live with that year only. It was illogical to build new plants to bridge the gap as it was rare .This picture changed drastically after mid 90s where we got gas, heavy diesel, plants and latest coal .  Since coal plants are very large , and now our hydro electricity is 20% we should be able to manage without cuts.I remember this cut which was due to dispute with then minister late Ratwatte. (incidently he got married on this day when the power cuts started)</blockquote>
