DTEK Krymenergo, an electricity supply company, pays for electricity supplied from the continental part of Ukraine to Crimea in full, Energy and Coal Industry Minister Yuriy Prodan has said.
“Krymenergo pays in full today… Otherwise measures to restrict consumption by the peninsula will be carried out,” he said at a briefing in Kyiv on Monday, July 7.
The minister said that payments by consumers in the peninsula leave much to be desired, Prodan said.
“As far as I know they have problems with internal payments,” he said.
As reported, the Cabinet of Ministers by decree No. 148 of May 7, 2014 defined Ukrinterenergo the only one who will purchase electricity on the wholesale electricity market of Ukraine for delivery to the occupied territory of Crimea.
From June 1 Ukrinterenergo sells electricity to Crimean enterprises through bilateral agreements, and state enterprise Ukrenergo will charge separately for this electricity.
