CEZ, the power distribution company in Albania, declared that the report
made at the Tirana Prosecution, claiming that the consumers have been
overcharged and that the company has abused, by causing a financial
damage to the state, is a speculation.
“This entire history is made up, based on intentionally distorted facts, with the only goal to give a negative and untrue image to the company”, declared Martin Nemecek, member of the Board of Directors.
CEZ gives its explanation for every fact, saying that it is impossible to divide the consumption at the station 330 in Tirana, because its supply is alternated with station 312.
CEZ says that both stations have received 7.200.000 KW during January, and only 4.605.855 of them has been cashed, less than the supply.
As for the second fact, CEZ says that the methodology for calculating the damage caused to the company is set by the Energy Regulation Entity, and that all cases that have been against the ERE regulation, have been cancelled.
As for the temporary contracts, CEZ says that these contracts have been applied to all consumers who have had illegal connections, and who have intentionally avoided the new contract.
For the delayed payments, CEZ says that it is applied in full accordance with the Civil Code and the conditions of the agreement that was approved by ERE.
CEZ considers a speculation the claim that they intentionally do not cut the electricity to those who haven’t paid their bills. CEZ says that the delay penalty is not related when the energy is interrupted, but it starts from the moment when the bill is not paid.
Referring to the fifth accusation, CEZ says that different to the other years, the clients are now billed with a smaller fee for readings that are later than 30 days.
As for the hardware abuses, CEZ declares that in the recent years they have had massive thefts of copper cables, which is sold for scrap. These thefts not only interrupt the power supply for the citizens, but it also causes great losses for the company.
