Mon, Jul 27 2020 to Mon, Jul 27 2020

Meanwhile, at the regulatory level, there is an authoritarian attitude towards all entities working in this sector. As a result, circular debt has emerged in the energy sector that can be resolved through sharp adjustments in power tariffs and by recognising the costs of power subsidies in the budget.
