Enwell Energy PLC shares fell Monday after it said the Ukrainian
government has imposed temporary, partial gas-price regulation to
support certain production of foods.
Shares at 0827 GMT were down 3.8 pence, or 11% at 32.4
pence.
The oil-and-gas company, which has operations in the country,
said all independent gas producers in Ukraine must sell up to 20%
of their natural-gas production until April 30 at a price set at
its cost of sales, plus a margin of 24%, and existing production
taxes.
The gas will be sold to specified producers of important food
products, including flour, milk and bread, to reduce their energy
costs, the company said.
The temporary program will support food production and moderate
food prices as gas prices have been high in Ukraine, though the
company said the regulation presents serious inconsistencies with
market rules established during the country's deregulation of gas
supplies in 2015.
"The imposition of this gas price regulation, albeit on a
temporary basis, is a very concerning situation for the independent
gas producers in Ukraine, and indeed for the investment climate in
Ukraine generally. However, we recognize the underlying social
issues that this scheme is intended to address, and will monitor
its impact on the market and our business," Chief Executive Sergii
Glazunov said.
