According to Ceylon Electricity Board, several days before the air strike, the American diesel power generation company, AES Corporation, operating the plant within the premises of the existing CEB Kelanitissa Power Complex, has stopped electricity production as the Sri Lankan government has failed to meet the payments. The air strike has rendered the GT 7 turbine system that was generating 115MW and another power generation system which was adding 165MW to the national system inactive. “With this situation, CEB will have power cuts on all towns in Sri Lanka other than the Colombo city area as it is difficult to supply the demand at any given time,” a CEB source said. <a href="http://www.colombopage.com/archive_08/November135841SL.html" target="_blank">CP</a></blockquote>
