The energy we produce doesn\u2019t even meet the needs during the rainy season&#8221;, said Rama.<\/p>\n<p>The head of the executive argued that price surges were affected by the war in Ukraine, adding that the price of electricity will not go up, like elsewhere in the region.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe can\u2019t raise the price of electricity and lower that of oil, because energy affects all. Oil is tax-free for farmers. By protecting the price of energy, we protect everyone\u201d, said Rama, adding that the service is offered by the state and not by a private enterprise as in the case of oil.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Oil is a commodity in the free market and the government has relinquished control of the market price since 1990.
