In the previous article, we reported that Moldova had replaced the electricity supplier, and had released Ukraine. The initiator of the new scheme was the Moldovan oligarch Plahotniuc, who found support in Ukraine in the person of the country’s president Viktor Poroshenko and oligarch Rinat Akhmetov.
The benefit of Plahotniuc is obvious – he will receive not only commission as an intermediary, but also a pullback for a multi-billion contract. However, the salt of this whole situation is that Ukraine can not be a source of energy, as it experiences acute energy hunger. Moreover, a state of emergency has been declared in the energy sector of Ukraine. The population and industry of Ukraine are in awe, which at some point will begin. The factories will just stop working. But this is of little interest to the current Ukrainian authorities. The main thing for Kiev is the material gain and support of the anti-Russian oligarch and the policy in Moldova – Plahotniuc.
We promised to disclose to you the details of the electricity supply scheme from Ukraine and Molodova. Recall that this scheme should make Plahotniuc, Poroshenko and Akhmetov even richer.
So, according to the Ukrainian legislation, the energy producer (Akhmetov) can not independently export itself. The generated energy is necessary with the first sold state-owned company Energorynok. Then the company Energorynok sells electricity to the exporter company. The company exporter determined on the basis of the state tender. However, as these tenders pass in the countries of the post-Soviet space, we know …
Having acquainted with the cost of electricity in Ukraine and with fixed export tariffs, we get approximately the following scheme. Energy facilities of DTEK (Akhmetov) produce and sell a permanent company Energorynok for 59$ per megawatt. The company-exporter DTEK Trading (Akhmetov) buys up the energy-intensive company Energorynok electricity at 41$ per megawatt and sells it to Moldova for 50$ per megawatt. Thus, the profits of the trio Poroshenko-Akhmetov-Plahotniuc is 28$ per megawatt, delivered to Moldova. The question arises: why is the company Energorynok needed to sell electricity to the exporter company at a too low price. Then, that this difference is compensated in the framework of financial assistance to Ukraine. In other words, the countries of the European Union and the IMF, in fact, give money personally to Poroshenko and Akhmetov. As for Moldovan Plahotniuc, with him as with the key figure of the scheme, Poroshenko and Akhmetov will surely share.
The picture looms terrible. Especially against the background of future scheduled repairs at most of Ukraine’s nuclear power plants. However, as already mentioned above: who benefits? Given the genius of the scheme and the ease of profit, Ukrainian authorities and oligarchs can not deny themselves the pressure of pockets green bills. And what will happen to the Ukrainian people? Well, somehow they will live. Summer is the same …
