The Ceylon Electricity Board (also abbreviated as CEB), is the largest electricity company in Sri Lanka, a body corporate established under Act of Parliament no. 17 of 1969. With a market share of nearly 100%, it controls all major functions of electricity generation, transmission, distribution and retailing in Sri Lanka. It is one of the only two on-grid electricity companies in the country; the other being Lanka Electricity Company. The company earned approximately LKR 204.7 billion in 2014, with a total of nearly 5.42 million consumer accounts.
Established in 1969, (before 1969, it was a Government Department, Department of Government Electrical Undertakings — DGEU) the company now has a total installed capacity of 3,932 MW of which approximately 2,115 MW is from thermal energy, and 1,817 MW is from hydroelectricity and Wind. Due to low wind resource, rough terrain and poor road conditions in Sri Lanka, CEB owns only one 3 MW wind farm in Hambantota, known as the Hambantota Wind Farm. The farm consists of five turbines, measuring 600 KW each. However 128 MW of Wind power plants owned by private sector (IPP) are already connected to CEB's National Grid. CEB also manages hydroelectric dams such as the Victoria Dam, and the Norocholai Coal Power Station.
To develop and maintain an efficient, coordinated and economical system of electricity supply to the whole of Sri Lanka, while adhering to our core values: Quality,Service to the nation,Efficiency and effectiveness, Commitment, Safety, Professionalism, Sustainability
