Lasha Labadze, director of Georgian Employers' Association declares that gas tariff increase by Tbilisi Energy for the businesses violates competition principles.
“We know that more than 50% of the business is gathered in Tbilisi. It turns out that gas price is increased for than, while the rate remains unchanged in the regions. This is violation of competition principles”, Lasha Labadze explained.
Director of Georgian Employers' Association noted, that the state was aware of the decision made by Tbilisi Energy to increase gas tariff for the commercial sector.
“I think it would not be just a decision of "Tbilisi Energy" and there would be communication about it. Many factors must be taken into account and the position of the GNERC is important in this case," Labadze said.
