The Public Utilities Commission of Sri Lanka (PUCSL) yesterday announced that it has decided to maintain existing electricity tariffs for the final quarter of 2026, despite a 2.88% increase in the cost of electricity supply.
The Commission said the cost increase was reflected in updated data submitted by the National System Operator (NSO) on 9 November 2026.
However, after considering the latest cost information and views expressed during the public consultation, the PUCSL concluded that a tariff revision was not required for the fourth quarter.
Accordingly, the electricity tariff structure applied during the third quarter will remain unchanged for the final three months of the year.
