Citing PUCSL reports, S.M. Marikkar stated that all 17 vessels failed to deliver and that 155,000 MWh of power was consequently not generated, requiring replacement purchases using furnace oil, naphtha, and diesel. He asked the Government to disclose the total penalties recovered, noting that the amount had not yet been quantified.

Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Hon. Deputy Speaker, what I cited was not mine. PUCSL reports state all 17 vessels failed and 155,000 MWh were not generated; that quantity was purchased via furnace oil, naphtha and diesel. If penalties were recovered, state the total—still unquantified.
