DTEK requires a woman to repay a debt of 69 344 hryvnia, but she denies, referring to timely payment of bills
DTEK’s employees recorded a fact Violations in energy consumption at the place of residence of the citizen and calculated the amount for unaccounted electricity, which amounted to 69 344 hryvnia. The woman claims that she fulfilled his financial obligations in due time. This information is contained in the decision of the Fastiv City Court of Kyiv region of August 27, 2025.
On September 14, 2021, during the inspection of the electricity grid at the address of the law enforcement executor of PJSC “DTEK Kyiv Regional Electricity Nettle”, an unauthorized connection of electrical appliances to the network, which is contrary to the paragraphs of the Rules of Retail Electricity Rules (approved by the NERCEP Resolution No. 312), was revealed. The connection was made by a cable from the injection line in front of the meter, hidden under the plaster, which made it impossible to visually detect it. To localize the place of intervention, workers used hand tools and partially removed the manufacturing materials. The fact of uncontrolled energy consumption is recorded. On the basis of the result of the audit, an appropriate act has been drawn up. The amount of financial losses from the violation amounted to 69 344 hryvnia. In addition, inflationary losses and 3% per annum were charged to the main amount. 625 of the Civil Code of Ukraine for the period from 27.11.2021 to 29.12.2021 in the amount of 188 UAH.
In the explanations, the citizen reported that she did not carry out illegal actions with electricity consumption and always complied with payment conditions. She appealed the legality of DTEK representatives and pointed to numerous shortcomings of the drafted act. The woman belongs to the persons affected by the Chornobyl disaster (category 4), and during the signing of the documents noted their incomprehensibility. The housing was inherited, and the installation work on the electricity network in 2012 was carried out by the RES, who checked the sockets and replaced the counter. In her opinion, it is impossible to prove the actual use of an unlicensed socket because it has always been disconnected and was open. In addition, the declared volume of unaccounted energy does not correspond to real consumption, so the citizen demanded a deviation of the claim.
Summary of the court decision The court satisfied the requirements of DTEK. The defendant was charged 69 344 hryvnias for non -electricity and an additional 188 UAH as compensation for inflation losses and interest for the specified period.
“The case file confirms the fact of violation of the rules by the consumer due to the unauthorized connection of the power grid to the meter with the hidden method. The decision of the commission dated 04.10.2021 (Protocol No. 002) on compensation is legitimate. The amount of losses was calculated in accordance with paragraph 8.4.13 of the Rules of NERCEP №312. There is no reason to doubt the correctness of the calculations, and the delay of fulfillment of obligations allows you to collect an additional 3% per annum. The court checked the validity of the claims, evaluated the accuracy of the evidence and their interconnection, which confirms the validity of the full satisfaction of the claim, ”the decision reads.
