"Either the energy system will be destroyed and we will be back in the 1990s or the tariff will increase," - - the former head of the Regulatory Commission, Guram Chalagashvili, made this scandolous statement in the talk show " The Choice".

Chalagashvili believes that the situation has deteriorated and the electricity shut offs in the regions are not associated with accidents.

"I think that we should not be at peace. There are already very big problems in the regions. The Companies are trying to decrease thier losses and often turn off the electricity. It is possible that the winter in the regions will be spend in darkness. Effective measures should be taken. Lari has devaluated. The tariff increase is inevitable . If the rate does not increase, the gap should be covered fom the budget. This will further increase the inflation, "- stated the former head of the Regulatory Commission Guram Chalagashvili.
