The state-owned Trypilska TPP continues to unauthorizedly withdraw gas owned by the state-owned Naftogaz, as a result of which debts are transferred to the state-owned Gas Transmission System Operator of Ukraine (OGTSU). This situation has developed due to the fact that the Ministry of Energy cannot ensure settlements between state-owned companies, said Sergey Makogon, ex-head of the Gas Transportation System Operator LLC..
" Naftogaz continues to refuse to supply gas to the largest in the region Trypilska TPP, so the station simply unauthorizedly takes gas from the GTS, creating new debts that it will not be able to pay off. The Ministry of Energy has not been able to solve this problem and ensure settlements between the state-owned Centerenergo and Naftogaz,"
“And bad debts are created for the OGTSU,” emphasized its former head.
Recall, Trypilska TPP is the largest producer of heat and electricity in the Kyiv region.
TPP is one of three thermal power plants that are part of the state enterprise "
At the end of October, almost simultaneously with the start of the heating season, Naftogaz got into a scandal by instructing Kievoblgaz to stop gas supplies to the Trypilska thermal power plant, a critically important energy supplier in the Kiev region..
Moreover, not even the Trypilska TPP itself complained about this, but Kievoblgaz, which was supposed to disconnect the station from gas.
Almost immediately, the order of Naftogaz was stopped, but this did not solve the problem itself - the crazy debts and fines that Naftogaz issues to companies against the backdrop of inflated incomes and insane bonuses.
At the same time, the Verkhovna Rada drew attention to a number of strange circumstances and promised to make them the subject of study by the temporary special commission..
\? The state company NAK Naftogaz says it has a debt of 2.8 billion to it from the state company Centrenergo. Trypilska TPP is part of this Centrenergo company.
Dear, they say that there are still debts of the state company Ukrenergo, which is also not calculated. We heard with you that the government is 100% ready for the heating season. And this is only the beginning of the heating season and the command to turn off is already on.. Agree that something is wrong here,"
In November ZN. UA wrote that due to the conflict between Naftogaz and Centrenergo, the devastation of the GTS and the debts of the Trypilska TPP are increasing.
