The Annual Shareholders Meeting of JSC Murmanskaya CHPP

On June 13, 2012, the annual general shareholders meeting of JSC Murmanskaya CHPP, held in Murmansk, approved the company's annual report and annual financial statements for 2011.

For the first time in the past few years, JSC Murmanskaya CHPP's operation resulted in a net profit, which amounted to 337 thousand rubles. The company was able to arrive at this positive financial result due to 581.47 million rubles of the 2011 budgetary subsidies that helped cover the difference in the cost of purchased heating oil. Earlier, in 2009 - 2010, the company did not receive any subsidies. JSC Murmanskaya CHPP's uncovered loss, accumulated over five years, at the end of 2011, amounted to 2,593.21 million rubles.

After accessing the company's financial situation, the shareholders decided not to pay dividends on the company's common and preferred shares for 2011.

In his speech at the meeting, Alexander Antipov, General Director of JSC Murmanskaya CHPP, said that "despite the difficult financial situation, during the past heating season, the company managed to ensure an uninterrupted heat supply to consumers and execute its scheduled maintenance campaign. Apart from tariff imbalances, one of the company's biggest problems is consumer debt, primarily those of the municipal utility companies.  He also stressed that "the reliability of heat supply remains a priority for the Murmanskaya CHPP, but it can only be achieved with the support of all stakeholders: shareholders, consumers, and, of course, the authorities.
