Currently, in the production of courts of various instances, there are 106 lawsuits of power engineers against unscrupulous payers for a total of 283 million rubles.

The enterprise will consistently continue the work on recovery of accounts receivable, using for this purpose all mechanisms provided by the current legislation.
