Rosseti will pay compensation to residents of Dagestan for blackouts

The Supreme Court of Dagestan upheld the decision to recover compensation from PJSC Rosseti North Caucasus in favor of 27 consumers who were without electricity for more than a day. Proceedings were initiated at the request of Rospotrebnadzor.

The basis for the claim was long interruptions with electricity supply, because of which consumers were provided with utility services of inadequate quality. During the trial, an examination was conducted confirming violations.

The trial lasted three years and passed two instances. Representatives of the power company repeatedly presented additional evidence and stated new arguments, but the courts did not change the decision.

According to the court act, the company is obliged to pay compensation to 27 consumers for moral damage, as well as to reimburse the costs of examination and pay a state fee.
