The spokesperson for the Power Division has stated that the national power system continued to operate in a stable and efficient manner during February 2026, successfully meeting electricity demand that remained higher than anticipated.
Both electricity generation and consumption stayed above projected levels during the month, reflecting increased utilization of the system. Seasonal factors such as reduced hydel availability, which is typical for this period, along with temporary outages of certain generation units, influenced the overall energy mix.
Despite these conditions, the system was managed prudently through established operational protocols. This included strict adherence to merit order dispatch and optimal utilization of available resources. Notably, no furnace oil based generation was utilized during the month, contributing to cost efficiency.
The Fuel Cost Adjustment (FCA) for the period reflects variations in the fuel mix used for electricity generation. Such adjustments are a standard component of the regulatory framework and are determined in accordance with applicable rules and procedures.
It is also pertinent to note that higher electricity consumption contributes to improved utilization of system capacity, which has a moderating effect on overall tariffs over time.
Overall, the power system remained reliable and responsive, ensuring uninterrupted electricity supply while managing operational constraints in a balanced and efficient manner.
