I am arriving in Colombo tonight. I saw some old news articles about power cuts. Is this still happening today. I need to know if I should book a hotel with a backup generator.

There are absolutely no scheduled power cuts in Colombo right now. The crisis you read about was resolved quite a while ago. The national grid is stable today. You do not need to worry about booking a hotel specifically for a backup generator unless you are running a critical server farm. Normal city life is fully uninterrupted.

Confirming what Nilanthi said. I am in Colombo 07 right now and everything is perfectly normal. The old news from a couple of years ago still circulates online unfortunately. Enjoy your trip.

Just to add, while there are no planned national power cuts, occasional brief outages due to heavy rain or a local transformer issue can happen anywhere in the world. But it is rare. You will be completely fine.
