At the request of the Antimonopoly Committee of Industrial Policy will make changes to their orders, which the preferential right to supply gas himpredpriyaty granted NAK Naftogaz of Ukraine and its subsidiary Gas of Ukraine , - stated in the ACU. As established committee, namely Naftogaz and Gas of Ukraine have been identified only suppliers of gas himpredpriyatiyam at a discounted price.
recall in August, at the initiative of Ministry of Industrial Policy National Commission Electricity Regulation has reduced the marginal price of natural gas from 1900 to UAH 1,584.4 UAH per thousand cubic meters for concern Styrene Odessa port plant, Cherkassy Azot, Severodonetsk Association Azot and Dniproazot.

And, in addition to Naftogaz and Gaza of Ukraine , has 421 company has a license to sell natural gas to Ukraine - their right to limit the Ministry of Industrial Policy - stated in the ACU.

Decision
AMC profitable in the first place Ukrnafta, says the head of department of agribusiness and the chemical industry Derzhzovnishinform Dmitry Gordeychuk. Although the law requires Ukrnafta to sell all the gas produced in the country to people through Naftogaz Ukraine for regulated tariffs (199 UAH per thousand cubic meters), in 2009 the company started supplying about 100-150 million cubic meters of gas per month for Dneproazot and Cherkasky Nitrogen. But after the National Commission Electricity Regulation has reduced the marginal cost of gas for himpredpriyaty, Ukrnafta rights to such delivery is not received and was supposed to supply gas to more than Naftogaz, making products uncompetitive enterprises.
CFO Ukrnafta Vladimir Pustovarov explained that the company sells gas Dneproazot and Cherkassy Azot by a court. Sales volume of 1.39 billion cubic meters of gas we can supply the market. Will we continue to deliver it? I think so. Because we have sold less than half, and only at the market price, - said Mr. Pustovarov. According to him, Ukrnafta is not even considering the possibility of supplying gas to other himpredpriyatiyam. In Dneproazot and Cherkassy Azot confirmed that the price of delivered Ukrnafta on gas companies practically does not differ from that on which the gas is supplied to other producers of nitrogen fertilizers Naftogaz.
However, the price of gas, which comes Ukrnafta 'and Naftogaz, may differ by an amount equal to the margins, says a senior analyst at Troika Dialog Ukraine Peter Keller. Not surprisingly, Ukrnafta sells gas is Dneproazot and Cherkassy Azot, since both companies are linked to the group Privat , - he said. According to Mr. Keller, in the III quarter the price of gas for these two himpredpriyaty may be about $ 150 per thousand cubic meters. Given that the cost of gas up 70% of the total cost of production of ammonia, any reduction in gas prices significantly affect the profit, - says Peter Keller.
As the Honorary Chairman of the Supervisory Board Stirol Nicholas Jankowski, he knew nothing about the implementation of Ukrnafta gas Dneproazot and Cherkassy Azot, but if this information is confirmed, his company will try to negotiate with the vendor. The volumes we need and the necessary costs of alternative sources of supply of gas we do not, - said President Severodonetsk Association Azot Alex Kunchenko .- We are in talks with other gas suppliers, because there is a government decree allowing the purchase gas from non-residents, but so far there are no results.
According to Mr. Kunchenko, lowering the cost of gas for nitrogen producers himudobreny allowed the plant to reduce losses. Profits are still there, but at least the losses are not so big - he said. We expect to improve the global environment product prices due to seasonality, - says Nikolay Jankowski.
