Yesterday, Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko said that the company Teplokommunenergo almost one hundred percent ready for the autumn-winter season. Meanwhile, some governors criticized the government's actions in preparing for the heating season, stating that due to problems in financing local budgets timely appearance of heat in the homes of Ukrainians turned out to be under threat.
yesterday during a telephone conference on the preparation of enterprises Teplokommunenergo and housing and communal services (utilities) for the autumn-winter period, Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko said that they would recommend the National Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) will not raise tariffs for the supply of natural gas utilities in the upcoming season. I will recommend to NERC to leave until the price of gas for Teplokommunenergo, which was with us so far, the new autumn-winter period, - said Ms. Tymoshenko .- I understand that if you continue to raise prices, it will only increase the debt and set local budgets in an impossible situation.
Experts skeptical not only about the fact that gas prices will not rise, but the fact that the heating season will begin on time. According to our data, the average willingness to regional centers for the heating season is 80-90%, and small and medium-sized cities - 60-80%, - said at a press conference, Chairman of Association of the thermal companies of Ukraine (ATKU) Vitaly Yakovenko.
However, the government in determining the readiness of Ukraine to the heating season operate on other figures. Yulia Tymoshenko claims that most areas - 16 of 25 - are ready for it almost 100%. The lowest level of training has the Autonomous Republic of Crimea - 89%, - quoted the head of the government press-service of the Cabinet.
After a telephone conference on preparations for the heating season two of its members - Presidents of Vinnitsa and Rivne regional state administrations and Victor Alexander Dombrowski Matchuk - gave a press conference at the presidential secretariat, which criticized the government's actions in preparing for the autumn-winter period.
- The budget for 2009 was calculated based on the approximate price of 1,900 UAH per thousand cubic meters of gas, and in February retroactively from January 1, was installed the gas price for the budget institutions in 2600 UAH. This difference in rates is not offset, - said Victor Matchuk.
Alexander Dombrowski sure that because of these problems, providing utilities with gas in the I quarter of next year is questionable.
We have heard today's message positive, that until the end of the price of gas for utility companies will not grow. But we do not know what the price will be from 1 January 2010. We can not predict the second half of the heating season - said Dombrowski.
According to the Minister of Municipal Alexey Kucherenko, most of the problems in this area due to the fact that now there are too many centers of power.
- With regard to the application of two governors - actually today there is a problem in the calculations associated with subsidies. I have them in this fully endorse. But Teplokommunenergo have debts of Naftogaz Ukraine , which they have gained without it. So this type of regional patriotism actually pays hutoryanschinoy - Kucherenko said, adding that he was more interested in issues of technical training Teplokommunenergo, which today is practically solved.
