“Is it a lot or a little? In my opinion, this is a lot. Among the largest debtors are many areas, whatever they should be,” the official noted.
Record holders for debt
According to him, the “record holders” for debt for electricity are Kiev and Kievskaya region, Dnepropetrovsk region and Kharkiv region.
He noted that the lifting of the moratorium on power outages for debts and the accrual of penalties to debtors should reduce the volume of non-payments.
“My personal point of view is the decision to cancel the moratorium overripe. It should have been accepted about 15 months ago,” says Boyko.
