The Ministry of Energy of Russia has developed a plan for the restructuring of debts by the “Rossetians” by the energy sales companies of the North Caucasus, Kalmykia and Tuva to electricity producers. Recommendations provide for the rejection of debt collection through the court until November of the current year, the Kommersant reports.
In turn, “Russian Rosseti”, according to the document, they are obliged to pay for current accounts for deliveries at a level no less than the payment of end-users. The company called “freezing” debts acceptable solution.
The main problem still remains low payment discipline in the regions, which leads to a lack of funds for current payments and fulfillment of restructuring obligations. In addition, the Board of Directors of Rosseti still did not yet adopted the principal decisions on the financial support of the subsidiary of Rosseti North Caucasus.
The management of the energy-sales company offers generators two options. The first implies the payment of electricity from the proportion of tariffs for the end user, and the second is proportional to pay minus funds that are needed to cover the sales and network part of the activity, including repairs and payout payments to employees.
Electricity providers do not agree with both options, as they will receive more than less money from market value than from market value. In the first case, according to the edition estimates, the share would be 76 percent, and in the second – 65 percent.
As stressed in the Rosenergoatom concern, at the moment the level of settlement of sales companies in the North Caucasus is immeasurably lower than the fees from retail consumers. Moreover, they are below the level that it was before the start of the debt settlement program. Thus, in recent months, the situation is only worsening.
As of June 18, the total debt of companies managed by only Rosseti North Caucasus reached 9.4 billion rubles. Suppliers do not exclude that, despite the request of the Ministry of Energy, will turn into courts. In April, they warned that if the problem was not permitted soon, that the region could literally stay without light, because the sales companies will go bankrupt.
Last week, the Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin acknowledged that the North Caucasus development programs did not work for all these years. Despite numerous reforms, private investments in the region almost do not go, the unemployment rate in it significantly exceeds the average Russian indicators, and salaries, respectively, are significantly lower.
