September 18, Colombo (LNW): Public engagement on the proposed revision of electricity tariffs is set to begin today, as the Public Utilities Commission of Sri Lanka (PUCSL) launches a series of consultation sessions across the country.
The Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) has recommended a 6.8 per cent increase in electricity charges for the final quarter of 2025, a move that has prompted the regulatory authority to seek public feedback before any decision is finalised.
In response, the PUCSL has organised a comprehensive public consultation process, inviting citizens to voice their opinions both verbally and in writing. The initiative includes nine in-person forums to be held across all nine provinces, beginning today.
These sessions are intended to collect direct feedback from consumers, industry representatives, and civil society groups regarding the implications of the proposed tariff adjustment.
In addition to the in-person consultations, the public is encouraged to submit written observations, objections, or recommendations through multiple channels before the deadline of October 07, 2025. Submissions can be made via:
