The Public Utilities Commission of Sri Lanka (PUCSL) announced today (14) that the existing electricity tariffs will remain unchanged for the final quarter of 2025.
Speaking at a media briefing in Colombo, PUCSL Chairman Prof. K. P. L. Chandralal said the decision was reached after reviewing public feedback and evaluating the methodologies used to calculate electricity costs.
He explained that, following these assessments, the Commission decided not to approve any tariff revisions for the next three months.
Earlier, the Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) had proposed a 6.8% tariff hike for the quarter. However, the PUCSL opted instead to seek public opinion before finalizing its decision—ultimately concluding that no increase was necessary at this stage.
