Revised electricity tariffs for domestic consumers

The Public Utilities Commission today announced the approved electricity tariffs structure which would be effective from September 16, in line with the government policy directive on the reduction of electricity tariffs.

This rate applies to electricity used for domestic purposes in private residences. The tariff will be charged on an Incremental Block Tariff (IBT) basis.

Consumption blocks are based on a 30-day billing period and the number of units in a block would be provided according to the number of dates in each billing period. (Chaturanga Pradeep)
