The government has decided to provide a continuous electricity supply from today (16).
Electricity and Energy Minister Mr. Kanchana Wijesekera says that this step was taken after the new electricity tariff revision came into effect today (16).
The minister also said that the fuel and coal required for the production of electricity will be imported by the Ceylon Electricity Board.
The new electricity tariffs are in effect after the Public Utilities Commission yesterday approved a 66% increase in electricity tariffs proposed by the Ceylon Electricity Board.
