There were couple of occasions where Rural Electrification Schemes opened in ceremonially.The Minister of Irrigation and Power usually did this when the Prime Minister is away from the country as the Minister acted for PM in such instances.
One day I managed to open 4 schemes with 4 plaques depicting the then political authority.These cost added to the scheme as no money comes from the Ministry.There were instances where Diesel Generators installed in such small schemes where no possibility of Medium Voltage lines and Substations were possible.
The cost of operation of such power genies ,though run at night only, was very high.
here I will summarise my experience in the Ceylon Electricity Board during 1969-2004
