The government returned it to the energy companies the right to disconnect debtors from networks

The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine returned to energy supply companies the right to cut off electricity supply to household consumers (including condominiums, housing and communal services, dormitories, DBK, & nbsp; housing and communal services, dormitories & hellip;) for debts for consumed electricity.

We will remind, earlier to the companies providing utility services to household consumers, according to requirements of subparagraph 5 of point 3 & laquo; Final provisions & raquo; Of the Law of Ukraine "On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of Ukraine Aimed at Preventing the Occurrence and Spread of Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19)" № 530-IX for the period of quarantine or restrictive measures related to the spread of coronavirus disease (COVID-19), and within 30 days from the date of its cancellation it was prohibited to suspend / suspend the provision of housing and communal services to citizens of Ukraine in case of non-payment or incomplete payment.

Such legislative restrictions have led to a record debt of household consumers in 2020-2021 for electricity consumption.Market experts have even predicted a default for most companies in the energy sector.

& nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; Currently, the Law of Ukraine & quot; On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of Ukraine on Simplification of the Procedure for Connection to Electric Networks & quot; № 1657-IX dated 15.07.2021. amendments to the Final Provisions of the above-mentioned Law № 530-IX were approved and the above-mentioned sub-item 5 of item 3 was deleted.
At the same time & laquo; Final provisions & raquo; paragraph 3-1 was supplemented with the following content:
"3-1. On the territory of the regions of Ukraine (oblasts, Kyiv, Sevastopol), where the" red "level of epidemic danger of coronavirus disease is established (COVID-19 ), for the period of "red" level of epidemic danger and within 30 days from the date of its cancellation is prohibited to suspend / suspend the provision of housing and communal services to citizens of Ukraine in case of non-payment or payment in full".

The Odessa region, according to official epidemiological data, is in the "green zone". This means that in the near future, customers who owed LLC & quot; OOEK & quot; will receive a power outage warning.

Over the past year, the Odessa Regional Energy Supply Company has been using the media, through the official pages of local governments, on its own website and on social networks to inform consumers that the temporary forced deferral of payments does not amount to the cancellation of debts. We want to thank our conscious customers for their understanding and indifference. Thanks to your timely calculations, we managed to prevent a critical market situation.
Dear customers of LLC "ORESC", pay for the consumed electricity on time and in full!
