⚡ No Electricity Tariff Revision for 3Q 2026: PUCSL

• Overview: The Public Utilities Commission of Sri Lanka (PUCSL) has decided to keep electricity tariffs unchanged for the third quarter of 2026, citing a marginal increase in supply costs that does not justify a tariff adjustment. • Financial Figures & Projections: • Estimated 3Q supply costs rose by just 0.3% (Rs. 417 Mn). • Total cost for 3Q stands at Rs. 186,027 Mn against projected revenue of Rs. 156,244 Mn under current tariffs. • A carried-forward 1Q revenue surplus balance of Rs. 26,753 Mn helped offset higher generation costs. • Revenue Support & Subsidies: • Total projected revenue reaches Rs. 185,610 Mn, supported by: • Rs. 6,943 Mn in profit from 2025. • Rs. 9,650 Mn in Government subsidies for consumers. • Rs. 17,213 Mn allocated for National System Operator operations. • Conclusion: Total costs exceed overall revenue by only Rs. 417 Mn, allowing the 2Q tariff structure to remain in place without impacting consumer rates or key industrial & commercial sectors.
