OREANDA-NEWS. June 01, 2009.  DTEK insists on revocation of illegitimate Resolution No. 561 of the National Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) of Ukraine dated 27.05.2009. The decision was adopted to unlawfully allocate funds in favour of three generating companies in prejudice to other participants of the electricity production market.
 
The NERC’s Resolution says that funds to enter the special use current account of the electricity supplier, the state-run company Energorynok, for settling of the restructured debt of the State Foreign Trade Company Ukrinterenergo to Energorynok will be allocated only to Centrenergo, Zakhidenergo, Donbassenergo companies. The total amount of Energorynok’s debt to the above three companies to be repaid in such a way totals UAH239m.
 
According to DTEK, NERC’s Resolution No 561 was adopted in violation of the Law of Ukraine On Energy Industry and prejudices the rights of other electricity production market participants, in particular: Vostokenergo, Energoatom, Kharkovskaya CHP-5, Dneproenergo and other companies  for getting equal payments for electricity supplies. 
 
Vostokenergo (DTEK) is going to stand up for its rights and has filed a statement of claim with Ukrainian judicial authorities and submitted an application as to NERC’s violation of the antimonopoly legislation.
