The Power Division has strongly rejected what it described as a misinformation campaign by certain individuals and groups regarding alleged excessive electricity bills. It also warned that strict legal action will be taken against anyone found spreading false information intended to mislead the public.

In a press release issued on Monday, the Power Division stated that all complaints it had received regarding excessive electricity bills have already been investigated and resolved by the Power Division and the respective electricity distribution companies.

The statement said there is therefore no scope for spreading misinformation or confusion over the issue.

The Power Division urged consumers who believe they have been overbilled to submit a formal complaint along with supporting evidence to the relevant authorities. It assured that appropriate action would be taken after reviewing any legitimate complaint.

However, the division warned that if any individual or group disseminates false information about excessive electricity bills without evidence and with the intention of creating confusion, strict legal action will be taken against those responsible under the country’s existing laws.

The Power Division also called on consumers to rely on official channels for information and to contact the relevant electricity distribution authority if they have any concerns regarding their electricity bills.
