The Additional General Manager further stated that if there are any issues with regard to electricity bills, such issues can be resolved by visiting the Ceylon Electricity Board website.

Meanwhile, Secretary to the Ministry of Power and Energy Wasantha Perera said that the CEB has been instructed to set up an electronic billing system if a majority of consumers wish to do so.
