Electricity Bill Check — Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka has two household electricity licensees. CEB — now billed as EDL (Electricity Distribution Lanka) — supplies most of the island. LECO supplies parts of the Colombo region and selected coastal areas. Look at the header of any bill: the licensee's name printed there decides which portal, calculator and payment route is yours.

Checking an amount, whichever licensee

Both licensees bill the same PUCSL domestic tariff (effective 11 May 2026), so an amount check works the same everywhere: units → block rates → band fixed charge → + 2.5% SSCL. If your computed estimate and the official bill disagree by more than your reading-period pro-rating, contact your licensee — CEB on 1987, LECO through leco.lk.

Frequently asked questions

How can I check my electricity bill in Sri Lanka?

First find your licensee on the bill header. CEB (EDL) customers check on CEB Care (cebcare.ceb.lk) or by SMS on 1987; LECO customers use LECO's services on leco.lk. Both can verify amounts with the calculators on this site.

How do I know if I am a CEB or LECO customer?

Read the header of any electricity bill or look at the meter board: it names either CEB / Electricity Distribution Lanka (EDL) or LECO (Lanka Electricity Company). LECO covers parts of the Colombo region and selected coastal areas; CEB (EDL) covers most of the island.

How do I check my electricity bill amount before the bill arrives?

Note your meter reading, subtract last month's reading to get units, and run them through the calculator for your licensee on this site. It applies the current PUCSL blocks, fixed charge and SSCL for an estimate within the pro-rating of your reading period.

Do CEB and LECO charge the same rates?

For postpaid domestic bills, yes — one PUCSL-approved tariff (effective 11 May 2026) covers both, including fixed charges and the 2.5% SSCL. LECO's optional prepaid scheme has its own two rates.
