A man requires DTEK compensation of 150 thousand hryvnias

DTEK unilaterally stopped the contract with your husband without warning and May 17, 2018 closed his account. On May 18, 20121, a decision issued by the Protocol was made during the meeting of the commission to recover the value of the consumed unbroken electricity in the amount of UAH 28 122. The man points out that this amount was paid by him under the pressure of grave circumstances that arose due to the unlawful actions of the company, which requires the return of UAH 150 thousand. This is stated in the decision of the Dnipro Industrial District Court, published on September 16, 2025.

Since 1985 he has been a member of the Metallurg Horticultural Society. On the basis of the act of ownership of 05.04.1996, he is the owner of a land plot with a garden house, connected to the technological power grids belonging to the gardening company. On June 29, 2012, he removed the electrical appliances and paid UAH 100 for consumed electricity. During 2013-2021 he lived in another area and did not use the land and house. When the man began to prepare the country house again for use, he removed the electric meter, which in seven years amounted to 270 kW. However, when he went to the bank to pay the account, he was informed that his personal account in DTEK was absent. In early May 2021, a DTEK representative contacted and reported that the controllers were checking the metering devices and indicators. On May 10, 2021, the man asked his grandson to go to the garden society to meet the employees of the DTEK OSR. On that day, the controllers made an act of violation stating that its account was closed due to the lack of a contract for electricity consumption and the unauthorized connection of the house to the power grid.

From the act of violation of May 10, 20121, the man learned that DTEK unilaterally, without warning it, terminated the contract and closed his account on May 17, 2018. On May 18, 20121, a decision issued by the Protocol was made at the meeting of the commission to recover the cost of consumed unbroken electricity in the amount of UAH 28 122. Only on 29.03.2023 DTEK proposed the conditions for the conclusion of the contract with which the man agreed, and on January 14, 20123, the electricity supply of his country house was restored. He notes that DTEK has stopped supplying electricity in violation of paragraphs 7.5 and 7.6 of Section VI of the Rules of Retail Electricity Rules, without warning it within the set period. The act of violation of May 10, 20121 was drawn up in violation of the legislation, and the information included in it is not true, so in his opinion, the decision of the commission is unlawful and is subject to cancellation. He believes that the mistakes made in the execution of the act of violations make it impossible to recover the cost of electricity consumed. He paid the amount of unbroken electricity consumed in the amount of 28 122 UAH under the pressure of difficult circumstances that arose due to the unlawful actions of JSC DTEK “Dniprovsky Electricity Nettle”, only for the restoration of power supply. Therefore, he believes that these funds should be returned to him. He also added that he was forced to pay UAH 6,699 for the connection of new electrical equipment. He believes that the unlawful actions of JSC DTEK Dniprovsky Electricity Network, which are manifested in the cessation of electricity supply, inaction for connection of electricity, as well as imposing unnecessary conditions and services, he has caused moral damage, which he estimates at 150 thousand hryvnias.
