The Ceylon Electricity Broad released a schedule for the power cuts that will take place on Wednesday and Thursday.

Thereby, a seven-and-a half hour power cut will be experienced during the day, while a two hour power cut will be experienced during the evening and night.

The power cuts have been classified into two groups namely A and B :

Group A 7 am to 12.30 pm & 6 pm to 8 pm
