The Public Utilities Commission of Sri Lanka (PUCSL) says the final decision regarding the electricity tariff revision is expected to be announced during the second week of October.
According to the PUCSL, the decision will be announced after reviewing all opinions and proposals submitted during public consultation sessions held in relation to the electricity tariff revision.
Approximately 500 individuals submitted opinions and suggestions during public consultation sessions held on the third electricity tariff revision proposed by the Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) for this year.
The public consultation process, which began on September 18 and covered all provinces, held its final session focusing on the Western Province yesterday.
In accordance with Section 30 of the Sri Lanka Electricity Act No. 20 of 2009, the CEB submitted a tariff review proposal on 27th August 2025, covering the quarter of October–December 2025.
The CEB has requested a 6.8% tariff increase, citing rising costs in generation, distribution, and finance. (Newswire)
