Unified Energy System

September 29, 2004

Statement by Andrey Trapeznikov, member of the Management Board of RAO "UES of Russia"

Moscow, 29 September 2004. RAO "UES of Russia" states that "black PR" methods are used again in the regional election campaigns in some constituents of the Russian Federation. There are attempts to use the electricity reforms in order to scare the electorate.

For instance, in Tula region, leaflets have been distributed, allegedly on behalf of Chairman of the Management Board of RAO "UES of Russia" Anatoly Chubais and the regional governor Vasily Starodubtsev. The leaflets say that the electricity rates in the region are going to be raised 2.5 times. A statement to the residents of Pskov Region bearing a forged signature of Antatoly Chubais cynically promises that "the price per kilowatt-hour will not be higher than 3 rubles."

RAO "UES of Russia" officially states that such "masterpieces" accusing the energy company of a sharp and unjustified increase in the electricity tariffs are clumsy forgery seeking to discredit certain candidates running for election to the regional bodies of power.

It is well known that it was RAO "UES of Russia" that put forward an initiative in 2003 to set the maximum levels of tariffs for regions for the next three years and to gradually decrease the growth rate of electricity tariffs increase. This proposal was backed by the Government of the Russian Federation. As a result, in 2006 the rate of change of the tariffs will not be higher than the country's inflation rate, which actually means that their growth will stop in real terms.

In connection with the appearance of such fake statements, RAO "UES of Russia" intends to request the law enforcement bodies to establish the identity of the persons producing and disseminating this disinformation, which causes harm to the business reputation of our company, and holding them responsible for that.
