Sverdlovsk Region’s division of the Federal Antimonopoly Service keeps looking into the claim laid by Sverdlovenergosbyt against MRSK Urala.

The court’s meeting on June 17, 2009 resulted in the decision to postpone the hearing of case 35 related to MRSK Urala being accused of violating the law on the protection of competition (Article 10 (part 1) of the Federal Bill 135 enacted on July 26, 2006). The company had allegedly tried to impose on Sverdlovenergosbyt disadvantageous terms on the electricity supply agreement, the spokesperson for Sverdlovsk Region’s division of the Federal Antimonopoly Service Marina Yusupova said to an UrBC reporter.

‘The hearing of the case was put off due to lack of information. The thing is, the plaintiff and the defendant signed an electricity supply agreement in February 2009. The agreement states that the terms described wherein are not subject to change within twelve months; however, Sverdlovenergosbyt was soon notified of the changes in the terms, so the company took the case to court,’ Yusupova said.
