Since the beginning of the heating season, the National Commission for State Regulation in the Energy and Public Services has considered 2.5 thousand complaints about unfair power outages. This was reported on the website of the regulator..

“Since November last year, the regulator has considered more than 2.5 thousand such appeals and consumer complaints from all regions of the country where power outage schedules are applied..

The Commission pays special attention to working with SROs to ensure that they comply with the principles of social justice and non-discrimination when scheduling power outages. In particular, the NEURC exercises state control over compliance with the energy sector legislation and licensing conditions by the DSO, including through unscheduled on-site inspections,” the report says..

At the next meeting on January 25, NEURC will consider the results of inspections of seven operators of distribution systems and appropriate decisions will be made.

Earlier, NEURC imposed fines on Vinnytsyaoblenergo JSC, Chernivtsyoblenergo JSC and Volynyoblenergo PrJSC for non-compliance with the schedules for power outages to consumers. Also, for the first time, fines were applied to their leaders..

DTEK, in turn, refused to be responsible for the fair distribution of power outage schedules and offered to turn off neighbors who have more light to deal with housing cooperatives and condominiums.
