Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, I respectfully make a request from you. As the Minister of Power is also present in the House at this moment, I wish to know whether a procedure has been put in place to obtain a battery energy storage system, and whether steps have been taken to establish a pumped-storage power plant. I wish to inform you that there is a risk of power outages; it could occur at any moment. Electricity is being cut daily citing maintenance. Hon. Minister, will there be a power cut this weekend? Please inform this House.
