More than 39% (385 million rubles) of the total gas debt as of September 1, 2016 falls on heat supply organizations. The increase in relation to September 1, 2015 amounted to 61% or 146 million rubles. Of particular concern is the situation with the increase in debts for the selected natural gas by the following heat supply organizations of the Ivanovo region: Shuyskoye MUP OK and TS (debt 71.2 million rubles.), MUE Privolzhskoe TEP (debt 82.6 million rubles.), LLC United Boiler Rooms, Yuzha (debt 15.6 million rubles.), JSC Resource Supply Organization, Gavrilovo-Posad District (debt 82.6 million rubles.). About 45.3 million rubles - the total debt of the enterprises of the SU-155 Group of Companies: DSK OJSC, Strommashina OJSC, Vichuga Machine Building Plant LLC. The list of the largest debtors of OOO Gazprom Mezhregiongaz Ivanovo includes ZAO Rodnikovskiy Machine-Building Plant (debt of 11.5 million rubles), OOO ITES, Kokhma urban district (debt of 7.7 million rubles). OOO Kommunalschik owed 48.8 million rubles to the gas supplier, OAO Avtokran - 15 million rubles. According to Sergey Mazalov, General Director of Gazprom Mezhregiongaz Ivanovo, the analysis shows that in some cases the reasons for the increase in debt are not crisis phenomena in the economy, as debtors are trying to present, but violations of legislation in the financial and economic activities of enterprises. “Among the“ chronic ”debtors are heat supply organizations that supply heat to the population. A reasonable question arises as to why the money collected from the population does not reach the fuel supplier. There are cases when large gas buyers do not even hide the fact that they are using the money intended to pay for gas for other purposes. In such cases, we work together with the prosecutor's office, ”said Sergei Mazalov. At the same time, the head of the company stressed that the level of payments by the population for natural gas in the region was and remains high: “There are, of course, those who do not pay. However, in relation to debtors among residents, we try not to resort to extreme measures, we carry out explanatory work, we act by persuasion. Hard-core defaulters from among commercial enterprises are another matter. Here our position is fundamental and we, together with the regional government, municipal administrations and law enforcement agencies, are applying a whole range of measures to strengthen payment discipline. " We add that from January 1, all provisions of Federal Law No. 307-FZ "On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation in Connection with the Strengthening of Payment Discipline of Consumers of Energy Resources" came into force. The document regulates changes in the Code of Administrative Offenses, as well as in the Housing Code of the Russian Federation. The new law, in particular, changes the procedure for calculating fines (penalties) for late payment for natural gas and transportation services. Penalties are now charged based on how far consumers are delaying billing payments. Penalty interest is calculated on a "longer, more expensive" basis. For example, if a heat supply company has a debt of 10 million rubles for 120 days of delay in payment, penalties are charged as follows: - for the first 60 days of delay in the amount of 1/300 of the refinancing rate or 220 thousand rubles, - for the next 30 days of delay - 1/170 of the refinancing rate or 194 thousand rubles, for the remaining 30 days of delay - 1/130 of the refinancing rate or 254 thousand rubles. For an industrial enterprise, penalties are calculated at 1/130 of the refinancing rate for the entire period of delay.
