In response to recent media speculations, Power and Energy Minister Kanchana Wijesekera clarified that there are no impending revisions to electricity tariffs. Taking to his Twitter account, the Minister emphasized that any adjustments to electricity tariffs would strictly adhere to the government’s established policies.
Minister Wijesekera further highlighted that the government’s policy framework entails annual revisions of electricity tariffs, a practice set to occur in January and July. This systematic approach ensures a balanced and predictable tariff structure for consumers.
Notably, the Minister also underscored the commitment of the Ceylon Electricity Board to provide uninterrupted electricity supply throughout the year, effectively eliminating the need for power cuts. This assurance comes as part of the government’s broader efforts to enhance the energy infrastructure and ensure a reliable energy grid for the nation.
