In Volyn, more than half a thousand consumers were disconnected from the power grid in August 2005, reports the press service of "Volynoblenergo". The main reason is significant amounts of debt to the energy supplier. For some subscribers, they exceed 2, and even 3 thousand hryvnias. But besides debtors, there are also many consumers who remain without electricity due to electricity theft. For these violations, 19 subscribers were disconnected in August.
Overall, since the beginning of the year, "Volynoblenergo's" losses from electricity theft amounted to 751 thousand hryvnias. The largest number of lovers of "free" light are detected in the Kovel, Lyuboml, Horokhiv, and Kivertsi districts.
