Decision on electricity charges delayed – final move by Cabinet

Date:

The discussion held regarding the increase in electricity charges today (16) has reportedly ended without a conclusion. The discussion was held under the patronage of Power Minister Pavithra Wanniarachchi.

Officials of the Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) had proposed to the Minister to increase electricity charges due to the huge financial crisis befallen the board. A special discussion was held today in this regard and it was decided that the decision to revise charges should be taken through the Cabinet.

Accordingly, a resolution to revise electricity charges will be tabled at the next Cabinet meeting on Monday and a decision whether the rates should be increased will be made accordingly.
