🔌⚡ Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 Blackout: Grid Resilience in Question Again!
Another nationwide power outage, this time blamed on a monkey at the Panadura substation, per Power Minister Kumara Jayakodi. But the Ministry of Power calls it only an “emergency,” not confirming the claim.
⭕ Not the first time! In recent years, similar localized failures have triggered full blackouts, exposing severe grid weaknesses.
⭕ Why does one failure shut down the entire country? A resilient grid should have fail-safes, redundancy, and better automation.
⭕ Restoration ongoing—CEB is working to stabilize supply.
⭕ Rooftop solar users asked to disconnect from the grid until 4 PM today (9th) to help balance the system.
