Sri Lanka is a popular tourist destination, known for its beautiful beaches, rich history, and vibrant culture. However, tourists visiting Sri Lanka may encounter power cuts due to the limited resources of the country’s power grid. In this blog post, we’ll be discussing the LECO Power Cut Schedule and providing tips on how tourists can prepare for power cuts during their visit to Sri Lanka.

In this article we will be explaining you about the process to check the “power cuts” scheduled by Leco. Their are two electricity suppliers in Sri Lanka, named as :

What is the LECO Power Cut Schedule? The Lanka Electricity Company (LECO) manages the power sector in Sri Lanka and has implemented a Power Cut Schedule to manage the demand and supply of electricity across the country. The power cuts are planned and implemented in different areas at different times to reduce the strain on the power grid during peak hours. The power cuts are usually implemented for a few hours at a time and are rotated across different areas to ensure that no single area experiences frequent or prolonged power cuts.

When are the Power Cuts Implemented? The LECO Power Cut Schedule varies depending on the time of year and the demand for electricity. During the hot summer months, when the demand for electricity is high due to increased use of air conditioning, power cuts may be implemented more frequently. The power cuts are usually announced in advance, and customers can check the LECO website or contact the LECO customer service center to find out when the power cuts will be implemented in their area.

How to Prepare for Power Cuts? Tourists visiting Sri Lanka are advised to prepare for power cuts by carrying a fully charged power bank or backup battery for their electronic devices. It is also recommended to have a flashlight or other emergency lighting, as well as a supply of drinking water and non-perishable snacks. During power cuts, it is important to conserve energy by turning off lights and other non-essential appliances.

Tips for Coping with Power Cuts: If you experience a power cut during your visit to Sri Lanka, there are several things you can do to cope with the situation:

Stay Calm: Power cuts are a common occurrence in Sri Lanka and are not usually an emergency. Stay calm and wait for the power to come back on.
Stay Informed: Check the LECO website or contact the customer service center to find out when the power cut is scheduled to end. This will help you plan your activities accordingly.
Explore Outdoors: Sri Lanka is known for its beautiful beaches and natural attractions. Take advantage of the power cut to explore the outdoors and experience the beauty of the country.
Enjoy Local Cuisine: Sri Lanka has a rich culinary tradition, with many delicious dishes to try. Use the power cut as an opportunity to try some local cuisine and experience the culture of Sri Lanka.

Conclusion: Power cuts are a common occurrence in Sri Lanka, and tourists visiting the country should be prepared for the possibility of power cuts during their stay. By following the LECO Power Cut Schedule, tourists can plan their activities accordingly and minimize the impact of power cuts on their travel experience. With its beautiful beaches, rich history, and vibrant culture, Sri Lanka is a destination worth visiting, even with occasional power cuts.

I booked this house for three weeks for remote working purposes. The house is nicely located close to the beach, restaurants, and shops. Quiet and comfy area. The host got us big water bottles for a very cheap price which was great. The bathroom and the smaller bedroom were nice. The wifi worked really well too. The front porch was my favorite working spot but it is only half the size shown in the pictures. The house was not nearly as clean as I expected. The floors had not been washed because they were sticky all around. It was really dark inside. I had to have lights on during the day. The bigger bedroom was especially dark. Couldn't see anything without lights on. When I arrived, all of the kitchen utensils were dirty. The microwave was fixed but it was still not ok, paint peeling off inside. I felt like I had no privacy in the house during my stay. The host came to clean the surroundings every morning and at the same time came to check if everything was ok.

So, out family has been stayed in Rannulu Sandya Rupika’s house for 28 days. It’s really private area. Safe and calm. The house really close to everything restaurants, nice shopping stores, the beach with a big big turtle in at. Perfect beach for kids. Almost no waves and really nice sand to play with. We had a problem with internet connection but Rannulu Sandya Rupika fixed it immediately. Bathroom with hot shower, kitchen has enough dishes to cook. I would definitely recommend this house.

Perfect place to stay in Hikkaduwa. Close to the beach, a lot of restaurants and cafes around, some small shops just a few steps of the apartment. The hosts are best one. Always ready to help, explain smth and answer your questions. The apartment is big, in the shadow of trees, with AC in the bedrooms. Big kitchen with everything you need. Wifi is ok also. Hot water in the bathroom, washing machine also works well. Thanks for take care about us. Absolutely recommend to stay here!

Great home about 10 minutes walk from hikkaduwa beach. Large kitchen and lounge areas and good air-conditioning in the two bedrooms. Host was amazing! He picked us up from the train station and helped us settle in. Lots of local tips and even prepared a home cooked Sri Lankan meal for us all. 🙂

We lived in villa Wellington for a 1,5 month and we were quite satisfied with the villa.Pluses:Space. There are 2 bedrooms, one dining room, and one really big living room. It's enough space for four people to live with comfort. Style. If you want to feel like you live at grandma’s home in Sri Lanka - this place is for you 🙂 Good air conditioning in two bedrooms.All necessary in the kitchen, you can cook anything you want.Close enough to the main road, beach, shops, bus and train station. Jay - the host. Very helpful and friendly person. He was always in touch, and helped us with any questions. Minuses:Villa is tired. Everything is working and you can actually use it. But it is looks really bad. Bathroom. There is no cabin, or shower curtain, so every time after shower all floors are in the water.Ants and mosquitoes. Any type of ants everywhere, so you must clean every crumb from a table and a floor. But it also a common problem

Жилье можно смело рекомендовать. Жили семьей 4человека 1месяц. Место уютное, дорога не сквозная , редко проезжают мотобайки, ночью на веранде слышно океан, который в 10 мин от виллы. Так же рядом находятся крупный супермаркет, обменник и др. магазины. Хотелось бы отметить заботу хозяина виллы о нас, все текущие вопросы были решены достаточно оперативно, просьбы не остались без внимания. Спасибо за это ему!! В доме просторно, места достаточно. Две комнаты и раскладывающийся диван в холле. Кухня укомплектована всей необходимой бытовой техникой, но не очень уютная , по-ланкийски. В целом, мы рекомендуем заселение! Из недостатков: нет закрытого двора, но это не критично, так как дом находится в джунглях, и при желании можно приготовить барбекю на заднем дворе.Будьте готовы к тому, что насекомые будут жить с Вами) Кафель на полу всюду, если он мокрый, - можно упасть. Мода у них такая-пол в кафеле)Не современный интерьер, мебель устаревшая, не помешало бы освежить стены ремонтом.

This house is within a short walk to the main street so is idially placed. The aircon in the bedrooms works well. There is a lovely cool outside sitting area. It represents good value for money and Rannulu is a lovely caring host.

Great home for a long stay. Fully equipped kitchen. Nice bedroom and bed. Lovely cool veranda for relaxing. Good location: quiet and easy to walk to the best beaches in Hikkaduwa. There is a small shop around the corner and a large supermarket nearby.We did not want to leave this house, and we want to return again.Jay is a great host, thanks for everything.

The house is in good location: the street is quite and full of green trees. It is big and well equipped. The thing I liked most was the terrace in front of the house. The house is in the shade which is most a pro and a con: it's not hot inside but rather dark during the day. The beds are big and comfy. WiFi is good enough for remote work. The bathroom is clean and light. There is a washing machine and all the necessary in the kitchen (no gas but there is an electric stove). The owner is nice and friendly. Beach is accessible on foot however I recommend to go to Narigama (or even its Tiranagama end) beach if you don't like crowds.
