The debt of the residents of Nardaran could accumulate over 117 years

The village of Nardaran, where the clashes between a group of believers and police forces took place resulted in a death of two policemen and five local residents, was completely de-energized. This village is with a population of more than nine thousand people, including women, children and the elderly, was plunged into darkness.

The state energy distributing monopolist OJSC "Azerishiq" spread information that the electricity in the village was turned off because of debts  of the villagers for the delivered electricity. The debt amounted 42,267,000 manat. The law on energy supply prohibits the disconnection of electricity to the customers who do not have debts. According to "Azerişıq"such subscribers are available.

The saddest thing is that the figures by "Azerişıq" raise serious doubts. This shows a comparative analysis of official state statistical  data. Let’s   consider it in order. According to the statistics, electricity consumption in Azerbaijan per capita is about 1705 kWh or 102 manat (1705 kW x 6 = 102 manat  gepiks) per year.

With a population of 9,583,000 people total electricity consumption in monetary terms amounts to 997,446 manats.  The population of Nardaran totals 9,300,   and  according to general statistical data, the  average energy consumption per year is  848,000 manats (9300 X 102.)

Thus, the energy consumption in 2007-2015  in the village of Nardaran totaled 8,532,000 manats. Until 2007, electricity in Azerbaijan worth three times cheaper - 2 gepicks per 1 kW. Then in  Nardaran  it accounted for 306,900 manats a year.

In the debt structure of Nardaran residents - from 42,267,000 manats in 2007-2015 accounted for 8,532,000 manats, and for the period until 2007 – 33,735,000 manats.

If to divide 33,735,000 manat  by  306,900 manats  (annual consumption), it turns out that Nardaran residents did not pay for electricity for  109 years until 2007. And if you add to it  the debt of the past  eight years, the period of non-payment will  total 117 years.

It is unclear how could they manage to live  not paying for electricity under the Tsar, Kerensky, the commissioner, Musavat,  during soviet times , and even  during  the country's independence period.—0--
