Public consultation on renewable energy tariffs ends today

The Public Utilities Commission of Sri Lanka (PUCSL) has announced that the process of obtaining public opinion on the purchase price of electricity generated from renewable energy sources concludes today.

Commission Director Jayanath Herath said the feedback will be used to determine renewable electricity tariffs for the next six months. 

Under the Sri Lanka Electricity Reform Act, the Commission holds the authority to decide and approve the price and formula for electricity purchased from renewable sources such as solar, wind, and biomass.

Herath noted that the price formulas have already been prepared and approved, and a public consultation process was launched two months ago to gather data and views from stakeholders.

The consultation session, which commenced on July 11, is being held today (22) from 9.00 am to 2.30 pm at the BMICH in Colombo. (Newswire)
