Are there frequent power cuts in Sri Lanka now?

Ravana Tour Specialist August 2, 2026

No, the frequent and prolonged daily power cuts that Sri Lanka had during the 2022 economic crisis have ended, and the national grid is working stably now.

Electricity delivery across the whole island is back to normal. However, a few brief, localised outages may still occur because of harsh weather or routine maintenance on the grid. Fortunately, most of the tourist hotels, guesthouses, and major restaurants already have backup generators, so guests get continuous power.
