Branch of IDGC of Centre, JSC – “Smolenskenergo”

At the conclusion of electric power transmission service contract No. 1 for 2008 with guarantee supplier “Smolenskenergosbyt”, JSC clauses related to the order of determination of points of delivery of electric energy (power) to multifamily residential houses remained unregulated.

During 2008 the branch of IDGC of Centre, JSC – “Smolenskenergo” was forming the volumes of rendered electric power transmission services taking into account volumes of electric power fixed by the accounting meters at input into multifamily residential houses. “Smolenskenergosbyt”, JSC was contesting indicated volumes considering individual accounting meters of residential consumers living in multifamily residential houses to be the points of delivery.

So, following the results of 2008 disagreements concerning rendered electric power transmission services (in compliance with signed acts) were in the amount of 28 978 410,13 RUR (including VAT).

With a view to disagreements IDGC of Centre, JSC – branch “Smolenskenergo” filed an action with arbitration court of Smolensk region against “Smolenskenergosbyt”, JSC and “Zhilishchnik”, JSC for the recovery in joint order.

Abovementioned as for “Zhilishchnik”, JSC is applicable for cases of recovery of indebtedness in a judicial procedure. But there are risks connected with legal proceedings when it will be difficult to recover unfounded enrichment from managing organization by reason of failure of conformation of service rendering base on accounting meters. In many cases there are no accounting meters at the boundary of balance delineation and payment is performed only according to accounting meters installed inside the flat. If there are no accounting meters at the boundary of balance delineation indicators of meters installed in grids of IDGC of Centre, JSC of the branch “Smolenskenergo” near to boundary of balance delineation are not accepted by guarantee supplier and consumers as calculated ones.

In accordance with clause 50-51 of RF Government Ordinance No. 861 dated 27.12.2004 amount of actual electric power losses in power grids is determined as difference between volume of electric power supplied into power grid from other grids or from producers of electric power and volume of electric power consumed by power receivers connected to this grid and transmitted to other grid organisations as well.

Grid organisations have to pay the cost of actual losses occurred in power supply facilities belonged to them less cost of losses provided through the prices (tariffs) for electric power in wholesale market.

Thus, rise of disagreements between the branch “Smolenskenergo” and “Smolenskenergosbyt”, JSC regarding volume of rendered electric power transmission services (i.e. volume of electric power consumed by power receivers connected to this grid) in 2008 stipulates in its turn rise of disagreements regarding volume of electric power losses in power grids.

Therefore disagreements regarding buying of electric power losses (in compliance with signed acts) in 2008 were in the amount of 74 111 163,77 RUR (including VAT).

On this fact as of 31.12.2009 the accounting statements provide reserve for doubtful debts amounting to the indebtedness in respect of rendered electric power transmission service for the period January-December 2008 in the amount of 28 978 410, 13 RUR (including VAT) and contingent facts (liabilities) reserve at buying of electric power losses in the amount of 74 111 163,77 RUR (including VAT).

Mentioned Rules of revenue metering are still not adopted and not put in force. By reference to the requirements of the clause 159 of the Rules of functioning grid organisation provides collection of data of electric power revenue metering at boundary points of its grids. In view of failure of evidences of fulfillment of requirements of the clauses 121, 136 and 159 of the Rule by the branch of IDGC of Centre, JSC – “Belgorodenergo” and taking into account that the volume of disputed rendered services by grid organisation is not documented risk of probable production of Belgorod Sales Company, JSC before the Arbitration Court of Belgorod region with bill of complaint in respect of recovery of sums which are subject to compensation of electric power losses in grids belonging to the branch of IDGC of Centre, JSC – “Belgorodenergo” on an ownership basis or on another legal foundation arises.
