COLOMBO: The Ceylon Petroleum Corporation (CPC) announced the registration for priority consumer facility to purchase of fuel for US dollars.
The applications could be downloaded from the CPC website (www.ceypetco.gov.lk).
The relevant conditions, the USD payment process and the infrastructure requirements to be perfected by the applicants after authorization is granted by the CPC can also be viewed on the CPC website.
The Minister of Power and Energy last week announced that any company or industry that is capable of paying in US dollars can open a consumer account at the CPC to obtain a weekly guaranteed fuel quota.
However, he said they would be required to pay a month in advance and fuel will be issued either on a daily or weekly basis from the 12th of July.
Already paid customers will receive their quota starting from the aforementioned day, he added.
