Relief pricing up to 120 units
President Mahinda Rajapaksa has instructed the Ceylon Electricity Board to extend the earlier maintained relief pricing formula up to the first 120 units to its users, Government Information Department reported.
In his Budget speech the President said –
"We have already prevented power cuts and made electricity available almost to everybody. There is a cost to all these luxuries.
Therefore I propose to make a revision to the electricity tariff structure from January 2011. I propose to reduce tariff by 25 percent to religious places, government hospitals, schools, vocational training institutions and universities. The present tariff rate will continue for small businesses and SMEs.
I propose an 8 percent increase in tariff for other users except for the first 90 units".
