Energy expert warns proposed electricity tariff hike in SL will set South Asian record

Colombo (LNW): Sri Lanka will probably be setting the title of becoming the country with the most expensive electricity in South Asia, were the proposed electricity tariff hike to be implemented, warned renowned energy expert Dr. Thilak Siyambalapitiya.

He noted that it is alarming that Sri Lanka already ranks within the top three nations in the region for high electricity rates.

Siyambalapitiya further underscored the pressing need to urgently devise a new strategy to slash electricity prices, warning that otherwise Sri Lanka will be recognised as the country with the highest tariffs in the South Asian region.
