OAO SverdlovEnergoSbyt, a power supplier, set a limit on the power supply of a Krasnouralsk-based state-run chemical plant. Only some limited amount of electric power is now delivered to the plant’s transportation department, storage facilities, and maintenance rooms.

The supplier claims the plant fails to meet its contractual obligations, as it already owes SverdlovEnergoSbyt 17.4 million RUR and has over 85.2 million RUR worth of debts featured in its bankruptcy case into the bargain.

The chemical plant hasn’t been paying its electricity bills since December 2009, SverdlovEnergoSbyt’s press service reports.
