Sri Lanka, Feb. 7 -- Director General of the Power Sector Reforms Secretariat Pubudu Niroshan revealed that the committee appointed by the Ministry of Power and Energy to review the Sri Lanka Electricity Act has recommended that the Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) be separated into three separate state-owned entities to oversee electricity generation, transmission and distribution.

This will be a departure from the current provision to separate the CEB into 12 entities, some of which were to be privatized.

Addressing the media, the Niroshan mentioned that a National System Operator which will also be state-owned will be established to oversee planning, procurement and constructions in the electricity sector.
