The National System Operator (Private) Limited has requested owners of rooftop solar panel systems to voluntarily switch off their installations until 3:00 PM today, May 30th. This measure is being implemented to ensure the reliability and stability of the national electricity grid during the Vesak holiday period. The company cited a significant drop in electricity demand as a key factor necessitating careful management of power generation and supply. This temporary deactivation aims to safeguard the system's balance and technical safety, allowing for normal operations to resume thereafter.
