No Electricity Tariff Revision for Q3 2026 – Public Utilities Commission
The Public Utilities Commission of Sri Lanka (PUCSL) has decided that no revision of electricity tariffs is required for the third quarter of 2026.
The commission reached this decision after reviewing the electricity supply costs submitted by the National System Operator (NSO) for the third quarter.
According to the PUCSL, after all adjustments were considered, the estimated cost increase for supplying electricity in Q3 2026 is limited to 0.3% (approximately Rs. 417 million).
In an official statement, the PUCSL confirmed that a tariff adjustment is not warranted for the third quarter and that the tariff structure from the second quarter will remain in effect.
During the previous Q2 2026 tariff review, the government provided a relief package worth Rs. 15 billion to cushion consumers against potential fee hikes, ensuring that around 95% of electricity consumers were unaffected by rate increases.
