Question of 47 SYRIZA MPs about possible risk of collapse of energy companies

The risk of the collapse of energy companies, “due to the growing weakness and the delay of payments that becomes an avalanche and can create conditions of insecurity and distrust for consumers who are afraid of a revival of Energa / HellasPower phenomena”, point out forty-seven (47) MPs , with a question submitted to the Parliament on the initiative of the head of the Department of Environment and Energy and MP of Thessaloniki B, Socrates Famellou.

The MPs, in the question they submitted to the Parliament and addressed to the Ministers of Environment and Energy and Finance, accuse the government that it has left the society at the mercy of accuracy, with the citizens no longer being able to respond to the payment of exorbitant bills and business debts to accumulate to the point where the production process itself is challenged, as a result of the conscious choice of the government not to take effective measures.

At the same time, they emphasize that citizens, businesses, farmers and even DEYA are looking for a way to cover their debts, the complaints for large debts of private providers to the Energy Managers (IPTO, HEDNO) and to the Municipalities are increasing. , with the total debt exceeding, according to press information, 500 million euros.

“The issue is evolving into a time bomb for the foundations of the Greek economy, as a possible lockout of these companies (as has recently happened with energy companies in the UK) will drag the energy market backbone, with implications outside the Managers and PPC and in the healthy companies of the sector “, the deputies state and underline that” at the same time a serious revenue deficit is created in the network managers and in the local authorities and therefore their operation and the fulfillment of their own financial obligations are questioned “. As mayors point out in their public statements, they warn that the budget of the local authorities is being shaken and this creates a problem in covering the warrants and financial obligations of the local authorities.

The deputies ask to know what are the total number of energy companies in the country and what are their debts to IPTO, HEDNO, DAPEEP and OTA, what measures does the government intend to take to address the growing problem of debts of energy providers , as well as how it intends to help normalize the market and save the healthy companies in the industry.
