The Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin on December 19 went on a working trip to Khakassia, where a meeting of the Government Commission for the Development of Electric power industry is being held in Sayanogorsk. Putin also took part in the launching ceremony into operation of the first hydraulic unit of the Sayano-Shushenskaya hydroelectric power station and went to the village of Cheremushki, where mainly the station employees live.
The prime minister flew to the station by helicopter and immediately went to the observation deck, where he was told about the restoration of the station, describes the day of the Prime Minister Life News .
To protect yourself from the repetition of the accident, a cascading water supply system was built at the station, which, in the case of strong spring floods, will spill excess water into the Yenisei. At the station, Putin spent several minutes, admiring the picturesque winter views of the Yenisei.
After that, the prime minister went to the station’s engine room and pressed the hydraulic unit starting button, after which, as the publication writes, “the numbers that display the power of the SSHPs sharply ran on the monitor screen - from 1920 megavatt it has grown to 2500”.
Then Putin went into the chapel built at the station after the accident, and put a candle for the rest of the station who died during an emergency.
Later, at a meeting of the Government Commission for the development of electric power industry, Vladimir Putin turned to more mundane topics. So, he urged to withdraw Russian assets from offshore and promised that this task would become a priority in the government, Interfax reports.
Checking the Ministry of Energy, said the prime minister, showed that energy facilities in the North Caucasus, Western Siberia and the Urals are controlled by family clans. He cited the data according to which every second official of Russian energy companies is associated with affiliated structures or is suspected of corruption schemes.
The Gremier switched to the last name: out of 352 managers of energy companies in 169 (in fact, every second one) affiliation with 385 commercial organizations. “Energy complexes of entire regions are controlled by family clans,” Putin continued. “The North Caucasus is under the Kaitov family. Consumers pay energy to the accounts of affiliated companies. Some funds are cashed through one -day companies.”
In Western Siberia, a group of persons from the leaders of energy companies (including a certain Kryuchkov E.E.) created a network for the repair and maintenance of electric power facilities. Profit is launched into the hotel business in Surgut, in the acquisition of real estate in Russia and abroad. One of the leaders of the FSK in the Urals (a certain Nikitin) is the founder of five commercial companies for the repair and maintenance of the energy complex. A total of 16 commercial organizations - a turnover of 2 billion rubles a year. “He manages himself, he gives out money to affiliated structures,” Putin appreciated.
A similar situation in the Central Federal District, where 25 billion rubles were brought abroad on outwardly legal grounds, through companies registered with dummies. A number of facts have criminal cases. “All this is clearly not for the benefit of the energy sector,” Putin continued. “In one of the areas of the Nizhny Novgorod region, due to the mediation of the head of the district through the RCC, payment was collected from the population. This made it possible to almost uncontrollably dispose of funds, thefts were instructed.”
In the Volgograd region, five times, sales companies have been replaced for five years. “For each - personal self -interest,” the prime minister was indignant. “The damage is about 2 billion rubles. Tver region - the debt is about 3 billion rubles. Money is collected, they begin to drive them, and they don’t bring it to suppliers.”
Words: "Wrapped up!" Some Solovyov and Sohi from OGK-3 were awarded. “We sat in OGK -3, require the payment of 324 million rubles personally to themselves,” the prime minister quotes the premiere. “What did they do personally for capitalization? Crushed completely!”, - quoted the Prime Minister of RBC Daily .
Putin intends to oblige top managers of energy companies and their relatives to provide information about income and property.
“I consider it right to fix the mandatory requirement to provide the Ministry of Energy on the income and property of the leadership of such organizations, members of their families and close relatives,” he said. “If such dubious relationships with such leaders are identified, of course, to part.”
“Where direct violations of the law are visible, I hope that law enforcement agencies will make the relevant decisions, and where a conflict of interest is visible, you also need to make personnel decisions as quickly as possible and think about improving the legal framework,” the head of government said.
Putin was saddened that the audit was initiated not by the regulators of the industry (FST or the Ministry of Energy), but by citizens. “A moan stands throughout Rus'!” He shared his impressions of trips. “In 2008-2010, an increase in profit in the electric power industry is 279% of the sales companies. And the increase in dividends by 312%. The essence of their activities: the fee. Money is collected from consumers, they take it off and restless partially.”
"If we want to make a normal investment climate in the country, then tolerate the possibilities of implementing offshore schemes, first of all in infrastructure industries, is certainly impossible," Putin said.
“Those who want to store the earned profits after paying taxes here in Russia - please, the law does not prohibit this. But the withdrawal through dummy firms of financial resources from industry circulation is unacceptable. It is time to finish with the“ offshore ”heritage of the era of wild privatization,” he said, otherwise “there can be no question of trusting in the country.”
The prime minister demanded that all state -owned companies conduct checks for ties with offshores and affiliated organizations within two months. "We should have absolute clarity and clarity with state property structures, with real shareholders with the beneficiaries, this is a key indicator of the civilization of the business climate and the maturity of the economy.
Within two months I have been listening to the Ministry of Economic Code, the Ministry of Economic Development, industry ministries, as well as infrastructure companies - Gazprom, Transneft, Russian Railways, Sovcomflot, Vneshephonbank, Vneshotorbank, Rosatom, and Sberbank report on the measures taken, ”he listed interested structures.
RusHydro shares on the afternoon of December 19 accelerated the rollback after the Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said that the company should reduce the average vacation price for the consumer in 2012 by 12.5%. RusHydro shares on the MICEC-TRT exchange fell to 1.03 rubles apiece, which is 3.8% lower than last Friday.
Putin also asked the Ministry of Finance and VEB to work out the issue of financing "RusHydro" in order to do it.
