Decision on revising electricity tariffs dragged in

Date:

Following Power and Energy Minister Kanchana Wijesekara’s submission of the much argued proposal to increase the electricity tariffs to the Cabinet yesterday (02), the members decided not to make an immediate decision regarding the matter.

Accordingly, the Cabinet concluded that a final decision regarding the revision of electricity tariffs be taken at the next week’s Cabinet meeting.

The electricity tariff revision leading to astronomically high electricity bills has already met with a severe backlash from a number of parties including the Opposition political parties, trade unions and overall, the general public.
