President Mahinda Rajapaksa today instructed the Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) to extend the relief pricing for the electricity to domestic consumers up to the first 120 units.

Accordingly, the present tariff rate will continue for small businesses and SMEs. There will be a 25 % tariff reduction to religious places, government hospitals, schools, vocational training institutions and universities.

President Rajapaksa gave these directions to the CEB officials during a review of CEB activities at the Temple Trees this morning.
