The National System Operator (Private) Limited has issued an urgent request to all rooftop solar panel owners across Sri Lanka to voluntarily switch off their solar power systems until 3.00 p.m. today (30 May) to help prevent potential instability in the national electricity grid.
The appeal comes as electricity demand has fallen sharply during the Vesak holiday period, creating operational challenges for grid controllers responsible for maintaining a stable balance between power generation and consumption.
Officials warn that immediate public cooperation is critical to safeguarding the reliability of the national power system and ensuring an uninterrupted electricity supply to consumers nationwide.
All rooftop solar owners are strongly urged to comply with this temporary measure without delay in support of efforts to maintain national grid stability during this critical period.
