科伦坡消息：官员表示，斯里兰卡周六（10月17日）发生全国大停电，原因是国家电网跳闸，这可能是由太阳能发电量超过消耗量引起的。
COLOMBO: Sri Lanka suffered a nationwide electricity blackout on Saturday (Oct 17) after the national grid tripped, possibly because solar power generation exceeded consumption, officials said.
该国在没有电网供电的情况下持续了两个多小时，目前尚无何时恢复供电的明确时间表。
The country was without grid power for more than two hours, with no clear timeline for when electricity would be restored.
国营的斯里兰卡电力分配公司（EDL）表示，工程师们正在努力修复影响整个电网的故障，并怀疑过剩的太阳能导致了这次故障。
State-run Electricity Distribution Lanka (EDL) said engineers were working to fix a fault affecting the entire grid, and suspected excess solar power had caused the breakdown.
能源部长阿努拉·卡鲁纳蒂拉卡表示，当局希望“分阶段”恢复供电。
Energy Minister Anura Karunathilaka said authorities hoped to restore supplies "stage by stage".
他在一份简短的声明中表示：“我们请求屋顶太阳能系统所有者在接到进一步指示之前断开其系统的连接，以支持恢复工作。”
"We request rooftop solar system owners to disconnect their systems until further instructions in order to support the restoration efforts," he said in a brief statement.
2025年2月，当太阳能发电量在一个阳光明媚的周日超过消耗量时，整个电网也曾关闭。当时耗费了六个多小时才恢复供电。
The entire grid shut down in February 2025, when solar power generation exceeded consumption on a bright, sunny Sunday. It took more than six hours to restore supplies.
斯里兰卡的太阳能装机容量略超3000兆瓦，而白天的电力需求在2000兆瓦到2500兆瓦之间。
Sri Lanka has an installed solar power capacity of just over 3,000 megawatts, while daytime demand ranges from 2,000 to 2,500 megawatts.
税收优惠鼓励了消费者转向太阳能并将多余的电力出售给电网，这造成了公用事业供应商难以应付的不平衡局面。
Tax concessions have encouraged consumers to switch to solar and sell their surplus electricity to the grid, creating imbalances that the utility provider is struggling to manage.
政府的目标是在三年内将太阳能发电能力提高到近4400兆瓦——比2024年增加百分之388。
The government aims to increase solar power generation capacity to nearly 4,400 megawatts within three years - a 388 per cent increase from 2024.
