The Hon. Kumara Jayakody
Kumara Jayakody stated that applicants seeking three-phase electricity supply must ensure their internal electrical installations comply with required regulations and obtain certification from an accredited Chartered Electrical Engineer. He explained that CEB and Lanka Electricity Company are legally unable to work within private premises, so safety checks and certification are mandatory rather than a formality.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Member, when providing three-phase supply, all internal electrical installations must comply with regulations/specifications, which must be certified by a Chartered Electrical Engineer. CEB or Lanka Electricity Company cannot work within private premises by law; therefore, the applicant must obtain certification. Safety of the premises and circuits must be assured through specific checks; it is not a mere formality. Hence certification by an accredited Chartered Engineer is mandatory.
