The Public Utilities Commission of Sri Lanka (PUCSL) has decided not to revise electricity tariffs for the final quarter of 2026.
Accordingly, the electricity tariff structure that was in effect during the third quarter will remain unchanged throughout the final quarter, the Commission stated.
Based on cost data submitted by the National System Operator (NSO), the Commission initially observed that the cost of electricity supply was expected to increase by 2.88% during the final quarter of 2026.
However, after considering the updated cost data submitted on November 9, along with views and proposals received during the public consultation process, the Commission concluded that no electricity tariff revision was necessary.
The Commission's statement also noted that the NSO was required to submit the relevant cost data for the final quarter of 2026 before August 17. However, the data was only submitted to the Commission on October 6.
