Mosenergo states that the company will reform on a common basis. This means that the Moscow government can receive a control package of shares of network companies created during the reform of the Mosenergo OJSC, explains Dmitry Vasiliev, Deputy General Director of the Company.
He noted that the network component is a monopoly business that will always be regulated by the state, and at the same time, investors have no interest in acquiring network assets. Therefore, if the capital government has a control package of shares in network companies, the interests of the state and investors will not suffer, AK&M reports.
But for the rest of the infrastructure, including generating capacities, the government will not be able to claim. As explained by Vasiliev, Mosenergo reform will pass according to the basic option based on a mirror separation. In other words, the current shareholders of the energy company will receive a share equal to their present in the companies created. The Moscow government according to this scheme will get 2.95% of the shares, and RAO "UES of Russia" - more than 50% of the shares.
And after the mirror separation of Mosenergo, the possibility of increasing the share of the Moscow government in network companies will be discussed, Vasiliev said.
On October 7, the Government of Moscow and RAO "UES of Russia" discussed a possible plan for the reform of the company. Now this document will be agreed with other Mosenergo shareholders.
