Starting in 2016, in favor of the hitters was granted 139 lawsuits on violations of consumers of fulfillment of obligations on payment of the rendered services in transmission of electric power totaling 3,527 billion. Now in courts there are over 270 similar lawsuits.
The tightening of the debt is dictated by the beginning of the active phase of repair and investment campaigns of PJSC "IDGC of Centre and Volga region". Their financing is carried out due to coming from consumers pay for electricity transportation. Interruptions in the flow of funds can reduce the rate of development of the network infrastructure and, consequently, prevent the full realization of the economic potential of the regions and impact on social welfare of the subjects of the Russian Federation. 
In the list of debtors for the services of electricity transmission at the moment still appear as retail companies, for example, Tula division of PJSC GC TNS Energo", JSC "vladimirenergosbyt", and a number of other consumers, with which IDGC of Center and Volga region direct contracts. 
With this power engineers of IDGC of Centre and Volga region reached clear agreements with a number of major defaulters on the conditions and terms of repayment of debts, and in some regions of Russia have already achieved their maturity. So, arrears to the NetWorker has significantly reduced Nizhny Novgorod and the Mari division of the TNS Energo group of companies, made a partial payment of a guaranteeing supplier in the Kaluga region.
The company stressed that the problem of debts for services of electricity transmission defaulters cheaper to solve in constructive dialogue with energy. This will avoid litigation, not to mention more stringent measures: the withdrawal or restriction of power supply. Networkers are not interested in the suspension of production or other activities of a counterparty in its bankruptcy, and in obtaining from him the payment of services already provided. However, delaying the process should not be too: the size of the penalties that accrued to the debtors for the delay of funds transfer and charged in court, more than 412 million.
