"Kievoblenergo is one of the largest energy distribution companies of Ukraine. It is also made up of two small hydro power plants (generators) that annually produce 1.8MW of electricity (though less than one percent of sales). It is the largest supplier of electric power (93% in 1999) in the Kyiv region, which has a population of approximately 5 million people and highly developed industries of more than 355 larges and medium enterprises."

"The company is ranked seventh in the size of its electric grid (47,830 km of lines) and tenth by energy delivery volume among all 27 Ukrainian power-supplying companies."

"The company has the following structure of customers: industry--23.76%, non-industrial consumers--16.18%, households--20.9%, agriculture--10.79%, transport- 7.9%, and others--21.08%. Though industry is usually considered the more attractive type of client, because they pay the highest price, higher non-payment rates in Ukraine render them slightly less attractive. Therefore, the company relies on non-industrial consumers as its main source of revenue. Its payment collection rate is often higher than 90%, making it one of the most attractive distributors in the country."
