Power shortages
could become routine in Sri Lanka by
the year 2000, warns
the Ceylon Electricity
Board (CEB). To meet the growing
demand from individual consumers
and industries, CEB estimates that
the installed capacity of 1370 MW
will have to be augmented by 500600 MW. However, this addition to
capacity may lead to an adverse
environmental fallout. A Panos
report quotes CEB chief engineer
Tilak Siyambatapitiya as saying that
although the electricity sector is not
the main source of contamination
now, it will be by AD 2003.
