The Hon. W.H.M. Dharmasena
Hon. W.H.M. Dharmasena asked the Minister of Energy whether the Ceylon Electricity Board requires owners of apartments and shopping complexes to purchase new transformers when obtaining electricity connections. He questioned whether the Minister accepts that this imposes significant costs on entrepreneurs and residents, and requested details of measures to provide electricity to such premises without delay using CEB transformers.
