No increase in electricity tariff, increase in CEB employee salaries every 3 years: Kanchana Wijesekera

08 Jun 2022

The request by the Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) to increase tariff rates will not be submitted to the cabinet since CEB does not assist the renewable energy generation plans and the CEB has collectively agreed to a 25% increase in employee salaries every 3 years, says Minister of Power and Energy Kanchana Wijesekera. This was announced by the minister via a twitter post today (08). "I will not take CEB request to increase tariff rates to the cabinet since CEB does not assist the renewable energy generation plans. CEB should allow renewable projects to proceed and reduce generation cost rather than increasing tariffs to pay their own salaries. CEB has a collective agreement that every 3 years their own salaries are increased by 25%. With no plans for renewable energy or cost reduction in generation the high cost of salaries and generation costs are put on the consumers," the twitter post mentioned. Wijesekera further noted that this change was overdue and that there was no better time than now to implement the change.
