The Public Utilities Commission of Sri Lanka (PUCSL) has actually asked the Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) to submit a revised proposition for electrical power tariff decreases, specifying that the at first proposed tariff decrease is inadequate.PUCSL Communications Director Jayanath Herath stated the CEB has been directed to supply an updated proposition by November 08.
This follows a preliminary proposal submission by the CEB on October 24, in which the board proposed a reduction of electrical energy tariffs varying from 4% to 11%.
Regardless of this, several celebrations have voiced issues, arguing that the suggested decrease does not adequately reflect CEBs recent success.
They contend that provided the boards monetary efficiency over the past months, a more substantial tariff cut is necessitated to supply meaningful relief to consumers.Herath stated that once the CEB submits the revised proposal, the PUCSL will prepare a counter-proposal to make sure that the tariff revision aligns more closely with public expectations and recent financial realities.
