MRSK Tsentra : Kurskenergo conducts effective work with debtors

IDGC of Centre - Kurskenergo division continues system-wise work to collect receivables for services related to the transmission of electricity. To achieve compliance by non-payers with contractual obligations, the energy company uses all available mechanisms of administrative and legal impact.

Representatives of Kurskenergo are part of the working group established under the administration of the Kursk region to minimize consumer debt to resource-supplying organizations. At its meetings, schedules are approved for the payment of arrears, which are mandatory for non-payers.

Claim and lawsuit work brings significant effect. In the first quarter, the legal support department of the enterprise sent 130 lawsuits to the courts for a total of more than 91.6 million rubles. At present, there are 64 cases in the judicial proceedings to collect accounts receivable amounting to about 34.8 million rubles. More than 8.3 million rubles from debtors have already been collected in favour of Kurskenergo, including in cooperation with the bailiff service. It is worth noting that since 5 December 2015 the late payment interest for electricity transmission services has increased more than two and a half times: from 1/360 to 1/130 of the refinancing rate of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation from the amount unpaid in time for each day of delay.

'The funds received by the enterprise from non-payers are directed primarily to finance the main production activities and modernization of power grid facilities of the Kursk region,' emphasizes Sergey Sevryukov, Deputy Director for Sale and Development of Services of Kurskenergo.
