Sri Lanka faces nationwide blackout
Sri Lanka experienced a nationwide power outage today, Saturday, due to a fault in the electrical grid, which is believed to be caused by an excess of solar energy production that exceeded demand. The outage lasted for more than two hours, and there are no schedules currently available for restoring power. Authorities are working to fix the malfunction, and the Minister of Energy advised solar panel owners to temporarily disconnect them from the grid to prevent a recurrence of the problem. It is worth noting that Sri Lanka relies on solar energy production exceeding 3,000 megawatts, while the daily demand ranges between 2,000 and 2,500 megawatts. The government is aiming to increase production to around 4,400 megawatts over the next three years.
