Litgrid did not breach terms of regulated activities

Vilnius, Lithuania, 2015-03-26 15:55 CET (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lithuania's
electricity transmission system operator Litgrid did not breach terms of
regulated activities and does not agree with the decision of the National
Commission for Energy Control and Prices (henceforth: the Commission)
concerning alleged breaches. The company will appeal this decision in court. 

Litgrid reports on activity segments to the Commission each year, but until now
it had never received remarks on the correctness of income and costs accounts.
Over the 2011-2013 period the Commission had not approved any methodology for
appropriately performing such accounting. 

“Over the 2011-2013 period Litgrid did not once exceed the price cap of the
electricity transmission services set by the Commission. Therefore the alleged
breach could not and did not affect the electricity transmission services
price”, says Rimantas Busila, Litgrid Board Member and Director of the Finance
Department. 

Litgrid has repeatedly invited Commission members and professionals to engage
in a constructive dialogue and determine clear accounting principles for the
costs of regulated activities. The Commission's decision, based on not yet
fully discussed issues, will affect the company's financial performance as well
as the cash flows and might have significant bearing during the period of
completion of the strategic electricity sector projects.
