The Public Utilities Commission of Sri Lanka (PUCSL) says additional costs arising from the ongoing coal situation will not be passed on to electricity consumers through future electricity tariff revisions.

In a statement issued today, the PUCSL said only reasonable costs incurred for the generation, transmission, and distribution of electricity are taken into account when considering tariff revision proposals.

The Commission noted that even in the most recent electricity tariff revision decision, additional costs linked to the coal situation or any other unreasonable expenditure were not approved.

It further said the Commission has unanimously decided that any extra costs arising from the coal situation, or other unfair expenses, will continue to be excluded from future electricity tariff revision proposals.

According to the PUCSL, this decision is aimed at ensuring that electricity consumers are not burdened with costs deemed unreasonable in the pricing process. (Newswire)
