Power Division protests 'campaign' over inflated electricity bills
The division also called on all concerned to act responsibly and refrain from creating unnecessary confusion over the issue.
The Power Division has strongly protested what it described as a campaign over allegations of inflated electricity bills, after dropping a warning of legal action that appeared in an earlier version of its press statement.
In a revised statement issued today (3 August), the division said certain individuals and groups were spreading "propaganda" over excessive electricity bills, insisting that all complaints received so far had already been resolved by the Power Division and the country's electricity distribution utilities.
It urged consumers who believe they have been overbilled to submit complaints with supporting documents to the relevant authorities, assuring that each complaint would be examined and appropriate action taken if any irregularities are found.

The division also called on all concerned to act responsibly and refrain from creating unnecessary confusion over the issue.
The clarification comes amid growing discussions on social media and isolated complaints from consumers alleging unusually high electricity bills in recent weeks.
Power Division officials have previously attributed billing disputes to issues such as estimated meter readings, delayed meter data updates, billing-cycle adjustments and increased electricity consumption during the summer months.
