Tariffs will be increased by 264% for people who consume less electricity in Sri Lanka. Whereas for people who consume more, this rate will be less. The Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) said the tariff regulator has permitted to increase it on Tuesday. This increase is happening for the first time in 9 years. The new rates will be implemented from August 10, 2022.
Officials said the CEB had asked for a tariff hike of over 800%. But the regulator changed it and increased the increase to 264%. The CEB has so far incurred a loss of $616 million on account of electricity tariffs. To compensate for this, such rates have been increased.
