The temporary administrative board of the Anti-Monopoly Committee established that KyivEnergo violated the competition law by abusing monopoly on the electric power transmission market, Finance.ua reports.
“The temporary administrative board established that KyivEnergo created the obstacles for access of unregulated electricity suppliers (UES), in particular Enoll EC LLC and Carbon PJSC, to the electrical power supply market”, the committee reports.
According to the message, KyivEnergo limited the choice of potential consumers for UES and deprived them of the opportunity to conduct business activities in Kyiv, in particular, through advancing groundless claims against the draft agreement for electrical energy distribution.
Such actions of Kyivenergo are considered as the violation of competition law by abusing the monopoly on the electric power transmission market by own local electrical networks on the territory of Kyiv.
The fine, amounting to UAH 17.958 mln, was imposed on KyivEnergo PJSC for the specified violation.
It was previously stated that Kyiv administration does not plan to prolong the contract with KyivEnergo on city’s heating management.
As known, Businessperson Rinat Akhmetov (72%) and the state, represented by Energy Company of Ukraine NJSC (25%), are the main shareholders of Kyivenergo.
