A Valls judge called to testify as a defendant for next February 13 for legal representative Endesa Distribution and three former directors were charged with an ongoing charge of fraud and another of embezzlement as a result of the alleged allegations. violation of an electricity supply contract With a company aiming to build an industrial area in Vila-Rodona (Alt Camp, Tarragona). The complaint, filed by an injured company and accepted in February 2021, argued that the power company “did not intend to comply from the very beginning, hiding the false reality that had guided it” and that it was nothing more than obtaining “pingues” and “illegal substances”. “The benefits. An Endesa spokesperson has framed these statements in the normal course of the case and stated that this call would allow them to explain themselves and “clarify the facts”. While emphasizing that it responds to judicial requirements, it is of the opinion that “there is no criminal element, not even criminal element.”
The events date back to 2007. Although the agreement signed that year showed that the required facilities allowed more capacity than demanded, Endesa had to supply 21,697 kilowatts (Kw) to realize this industrial zone project. According to the complaint signed by lawyer Manuel González Peeters, approximately 55,000 kW by the company. The cost of the substation, about 3.2 million euros, should be provided by the construction company. The contract revealed that the 33,302 kW difference Endesa had to contract was “available to third party customers” of the electricity company, but eventually the money had to go to the construction company that financed the installation. .
This construction company is defending the complaint, and Endesa has set a maximum “compensation” in favor of the first in excess of 1.9 million euros, which corresponds to the cost of the investment, which the electricity company “contrary to legal criteria, forced to make more”, so that the available power was 33,302 kW. in the November 2013 agreement In the case submitted to the court, it was detailed that the power lines were put into service in 2011 and that the construction company was able to recover 714,653 Euros from third parties connected to its own supply. This document also stated that Endesa customers had “links” that Endesa had not communicated to the construction company and that “unilaterally and for no reason” this amounted to 203,000 Euros plus VAT.
“illegal exploitation”
Therefore, the accusation is considered that the electricity company “secretly used the facilities it paid for” by the construction company, and “gained from it”. illegal exploitation of large sums of money In the text, it is emphasized that “the fact that caused the amount sought by Endesa to be much higher and not limited to that period” is emphasized, thus “assuming that illegal acts of monetary destruction continue”. .
The complaining company is the company that received these compensation rights from the construction company that signed a contract with Endesa. The prosecution evaluates that the power company uses several ways possibly “contrary to current legislation”, “continuing monetary damage”, forcing the construction company to “contract and pay for a non-essential service of required size”. In this sense, the complaint highlights that the so-called excess electricity was “illegally used to obtain monetary sums” and that “Endesa had improperly seized” and that it should be returned to the construction company. The request even casts doubt on the construction of the electrical installation, which was paid for by the construction company responsible for the property, as the Puigpelat substation was built on it, because “it already exists, its capacity and actual conditions are unknown.”
