Stavropolenergosbyt is the guaranteeing supplier of electricity in Stavropol Krai. The region is agricultural: a significant share of consumption comes from farms, processing plants and irrigation systems. The ordinary and preferred shares trade under the tickers STSB and STSBP.
The agricultural profile of the region changes the familiar consumption curve. The main peak falls not on the winter frosts, as it does in central Russia, but on the season of field work and irrigation — that is, on the warm part of the year. Purchases on the wholesale market have to be planned around this feature.
The second factor is the payment discipline of farms. A farmer receives money after the harvest has been gathered and sold, but consumes electricity throughout the season. The gap between consumption and payment is structural here, and the supply company finances it out of its own working capital.
The income remains the same as for every electricity supplier: a markup approved by the regional regulator.
Supplying farms, irrigation systems and processing facilities.
Serving the residents of the region and public-sector consumers.

A farm receives its revenue after the harvest has been gathered and sold, but consumes electricity throughout the season. The supply company is forced to finance this gap between consumption and payment itself.
