Minister vows to push ‘crucial' CEB restructuring, ‘disregard any obstacles'
The Island
|October 07, 2025
Energy Minister Kumara Jayakody has declared the restructuring of the Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) to be ‘crucial’ for achieving the nation’s energy goals and confirmed he will 'disregard any obstacles’ to its implementation.
This defiant statement signals that the government is forging ahead with the contentious reforms, even as power sector trade unions engage in street protests against the move.
Speaking at the recent opening of a new 5-megawatt solar power project in Galle, the minister emphasised that the restructuring of the CEB is being carried forward with a specific purpose, underscoring its necessity as part of a national programme to embrace renewable energy.
