The Public Utilities Commission of Sri Lanka (PUCSL) said the proposed special electricity tariff revision for 2026 is scheduled to be announced today (09).

The revised cost estimate for electricity generation for the second quarter of the year was recently submitted to the PUCSL by National System Operator (Pvt) Ltd.

According to the PUCSL, the request for a tariff increase was based on higher electricity generation costs resulting from increased fuel prices.

The period for submitting oral comments and proposals regarding the revision has also concluded.

However, the commission stated that losses attributed to inferior coal will not be included in the electricity tariff calculation.
