“Ukrposhta” ordered electricity worth 275 million hryvnias from Ukrzaliznytsia structures
JSC “Ukrposhta” 3 November, following the results of a tender, ordered electric energy from LLC “Energo Zbut Trans” for 274,83 million UAH.
This is reported in the Prozorro system.
For next year they ordered 32 000 000 kilowatt-hours of electricity without distribution at 8,59 UAH/kWh. The price includes the calculated wholesale price of 6,20 UAH, the tariff for electricity transmission services of 0,93 UAH, the supplier’s margin of 0,03 UAH, and value added tax of 1,43 UAH.
Price formula
The calculated wholesale price equals the weighted average price on the DAM for the base (previous) period. Subsequently, to determine the actual price of the product for the respective accounting period, this calculated wholesale price will be multiplied by a fluctuation coefficient and the transmission tariff and supplier margin will be added. At the time of signing the contract the fluctuation coefficient is 1 (one) and is determined by the formula DAMperiod / DAMbase, which means the weighted average price on the DAM for the respective accounting period divided by the weighted average price on the DAM for the base (previous) period. The supplier’s margin does not change during the term of the contract. The transmission tariff is set by the NEURC.
This is a normal margin for similar contracts (see the list of examples below). But some purchasers allow themselves to buy energy at a price considerably more favorable to the supplier.
For example, on the same day as the postal order, 3 November, SE “SkhidGZK” contracted for this year with a supplier’s margin of 0,34 UAH. Energy for next year was also ordered expensively by Chernihiv utility company KP “Teplokomunenergo” with 0,30 UAH and by KP “Ternopilelektrotrans” with 0,55 UAH.
Many other purchasers are now ordering energy for next year with marginality at the level of Ukrposhta’s tender.
For example, KP “Vinnytsia Transport Company” ordered electricity with a supplier’s margin of 0,00 UAH, SE “Ukrainian Special Systems” – 0,02 UAH, branch “Delta-Lotsman” – 0,03 UAH, JSC “Zhytomyroblenergo” – 0,04 UAH, Pervomaisk municipal utility KP “Zhyttlo” – 0,06 UAH, and JSC “Ukrtransnafta” – 0,10 UAH.
At Ukrposhta’s tender, the more expensive competitors were LLC “Poltavaenergozbut”, LLC “Trade Energy Solution” and JSC “Energy Company of Ukraine”. The formal saving amounts to 0,4%.
Kyiv’s “Energo Zbut Trans,” headed by Oleksandr Sereda, is owned by LLC “Zbut Energy Ltd,” whose director is Andriy Sheludko, and that in turn is owned by JSC “Ukrzaliznytsia.” Since 2019, contracts with the winner totaling 39,51 billion UAH have been published.
“Ukrposhta” contracted electricity specifically with “Energo Zbut Trans” for the first time after the full-scale invasion. Previously the firm had won Ukrposhta’s tenders in 2019.
