"Gas equipment prices set by 'Sahatransneftegaz' are under scrutiny for potential price gouging"
The Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) of Russia's Yakutsk branch has initiated a case against JSC "Sakhatransneftegaz" due to suspected violations of antimonopoly legislation. The case revolves around allegations that JSC "Sakhatransneftegaz" has been setting unreasonable prices for the technical maintenance of gas equipment.
The pricing for such services is not subject to state regulation, allowing gas distribution organisations to set their own prices using methodological guidelines. However, the FAS Commission, responsible for enforcing antimonopoly legislation in this case, has found that JSC "Sakhatransneftegaz" did not comply with certain points of the pricing guidelines during their investigation.
The complaint was filed by LLC "Prestige", who alleged unreasonable overpricing of services for the technical maintenance of gas equipment. The FAS Commission will determine if JSC "Sakhatransneftegaz" complies with current pricing procedures at its meeting.
If a violation is found, JSC "Sakhatransneftegaz" may face a fine of up to one million rubles. It is important to note that this case is related to the technical maintenance of gas equipment and does not involve any social media platforms such as VKontakte, Classmates, WhatsApp, Telegram, or Twitter.
The Antimonopoly Policy Department commission will carefully consider the evidence presented and make a decision based on the facts of the case. The outcome of the investigation could have significant implications for JSC "Sakhatransneftegaz" and the wider gas industry in Yakutsk.
