Azerbaijan, Baku, 17 March / Trend / In Jan and Feb 2008, Azerenerji Joint Stock Company (JSC) has transferred AZN17,1mln to the state budget which is 1.5 times more than the same period of 2007, the press service of JSC said. The assessments to the state budget totaled to AZN9mln in February.
An increase in the assessments to the budget is due to the rise in wholesale cost of the electricity in early January- produced by Azerenerji, and the rise in the electricity collections as a result of the installment of new meters.
