On 23 August, the Federal Arbitration Court of the North-West Federal District left without changes the judgment of the Arbitration Court of the Pskov Region thus having recognized the decisions of the Federal Antimonopoly Service Directorate of the Pskov Region to be void as regards IDGC of North-West’s branch “Pskovenergo”. This case was considered after receipt of the complaint concerning the previous judgments of the Pskov Federal Antimonopoly Service Directorate in the court of cassation instance.

Let us remind that antimonopoly services saw infringement of interests of the applicant in the actions of the power company in the process of preparation of the draft agreement for engineering connection to electric grids, and infringement of the procedure of pricing established by normative legal acts.

The court did not see the declared infringements in the actions of “Pskovenergo”, in both cases it considered the opinions of the Federal Antimonopoly Service Directorate to be erroneous and ruled to recognize the decisions and instructions of the antimonopoly service concerning “Pskovenergo” to be void. The court also ruled to collect the charges for payment of the state duty from the Federal Antimonopoly Service Directorate of the Pskov Region in favor of IDGC of North-West.
