“…There is no doubt that whenever OG-Ps rise, the operating costs rise, and thus negative impact is witnessed in the company's financial performance especially in revenues and profitability. In many countries and in light of the inability of these companies to reflect this rise in electricity prices for consumers they endure a large portion of this surge as nonrefundable costs that consequently negatively impact financial performance (Thinagar et al, 2019;Gao et al, 2018;Wiryono et al, 2020;Aye et al, 2014;Guidi, 2009). Furthermore, this rise in oil or gas prices obligates companies to give up a larger part of their revenues to cover the purchase costs and hence negatively effects the level of profitability, liquidity and in some situations pushes these companies to cover these additional costs through borrowing in high interest rates (Mahboub and Ahmed, 2017;Nasir et al, 2018).…”
