MANUAL LOAD SHEDDING SCHEDULE

(Published on18-08-2020)

Dear Electricity Customers,

As you are already aware, Ceylon Electricity Board is currently experiencing a severe
energy/capacity deficit due to unavailability of Lakvijaya Power Plant subsequent to the total
power failure occurred on 17th August 2020.

Ceylon Electricity Board is therefore reluctantly compelled to manage the system in such a way
that the demand is always controllable to maximum generation so that a stable power system is
maintained throughout the country until situation is normalized.

The demand management will be carried out in Groups listed herewith. At this critical stage, CEB
kindly requests all the customers to switch off non-essential electrical appliances between 0800h
to 2200h so that CEB could minimize the demand curtailment.

CEB highly regrets the inconvenience caused to customers due to demand management.
