The Public Utilities Commission of Sri Lanka (PUCSL) yesterday said there will be no revisions to electricity tariffs during the first quarter of 2026, citing procedural failures by the Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB).
The PUCSL said the decision was taken after the CEB failed to submit a formal tariff revision proposal within the stipulated time frame.
he Commission noted that it also took into account shortcomings identified in the initial proposal and the impracticality of imposing a high percentage tariff adjustment for the remaining short period of the quarter, even if a revised submission were to be made by the CEB.
As a result, electricity tariffs will remain unchanged for the first quarter of 2026, the PUCSL said.
