The Public Utilities Commission of Sri Lanka (PUCSL) says it expects the Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) to submit proposals related to the second electricity tariff revision of the year within the coming week.
PUCSL Director of Communications – Jayanath Herath has said that if there is to be a revision of electricity tariffs in June or July, the relevant proposals should be submitted to the Commission in May.
Once the proposals are received, the PUCSL is scheduled to study them and announce its decision within three to six weeks. During this period, public opinions will also be called regarding the proposed revisions.
However, the CEB is yet to submit the necessary proposals to the PUCSL.
Speaking during a TV programme last week, President Anura Kumara Dissanayake had stated that a June electricity tariff revision will see a hike.
