IDGC of Centre - Kostromaenergo division continues its systematic work to recover accounts receivable for electricity transmission services. Its important direction is claims and lawsuits.
In the first quarter, specialists of the legal unit of Kostromaenergo submitted to the court 49 claims for collection of receivables for a total amount of more than 87.5 million rubles. In 114 cases, including claims previously sent, decisions were made to recover 12.2 million rubles in favour of the company. During the same period 320 court orders were sent to bailiffs for a total of 70.1 million rubles.
Currently, in the production of courts of various instances, there are 85 lawsuits of power engineers against unscrupulous payers for a total of 102 million rubles.
However, despite their efforts, the level of overdue accounts receivable of Kostromaenergo remains high: as of 1 April 2018, it amounted to 294.5 million rubles. The entire amount falls on two debtors: PJSC "Kostroma Sales Company" (267.5 million rubles) and OJSC "Oboronenergosbyt" (27 million rubles).
It should be noted that actions of non-payers jeopardize the reliability of power supply to consumers in the region, since the funds received by Kostromaenergo for the provision of electricity transmission services are used, among other things, to implement production programs. The enterprise will consistently continue the work on recovery of accounts receivable, using for this purpose all mechanisms provided by the current legislation.
