The Ministry of Energy has clarified that the proposed electricity tariff reduction will only be implemented if approved by the Ministry of Finance.
This announcement comes as the Public Utilities Commission of Sri Lanka (PUCSL) declared today that electricity tariffs would be reduced by 20% starting from midnight. Despite the PUCSL’s announcement, the Energy Ministry emphasized that the revision remains contingent on the Finance Ministry’s authorization.
The decision has sparked mixed reactions, as consumers eagerly await confirmation of the tariff reduction amidst rising living costs.
