The Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) announces the upcoming launch of the next phase of their e-Billing system, effective from the 01st of July, 2023.
During this phase, customers residing in the Dehiwala, Kelaniya, and Sri Jayewardenepura areas will exclusively receive their electricity bills in a digital format, either through SMS or email. This marks the discontinuation of the conventional practice of issuing printed paper bills.
"We also encourage all our customers nationwide to promptly register for this convenient service, as the issuance of printed paper bills will gradually be suspended in the coming months," the CEB said.
To register via SMS, type REG<space>followed by your A/C Number and send it to 1987. To register online, visit http://ebill.ceb.lk and follow the instructions.
"We request your cooperation to ensure the successful implementation of the e-Billing system."
This initiative is expected to save approximately 100 million sheets of paper annually.
