Regulations on delivery and use of electrical energy

Part 1. Purpose and scope

1. The regulations on delivery and use of electrical energy (further - the Provision) aim at regulations of the legal relations between the operator of network, the supplier and the final consumer concerning connection of electroinstallations of final consumers to power network concerning the conclusion of agreements, deliveries and payments of electrical energy, and also use by final consumers of electrical energy.

2. This Provision is applied during the designing, installation and acceptance of electroinstallations of final consumers, in case of differentiation of installations of the electrical power company and electroinstallations of final consumers, in case of operation and servicing of electroinstallations of final consumers, in case of connection, the conclusion of delivery agreements of electrical energy, when accounting of the consumed electrical energy, in case of payment of electrical energy, in case of shutdown of electroinstallations of final consumers, in case of restrictions and breaks in delivery of electrical energy, by consideration of claims of final consumers and ways of permission of disagreements and disputes between suppliers and/or the operator of the transferring network and system or operators of network and final consumers.

3. Conditions of this provision extend completely and to the legal relations appearing when using temporary electroinstallations.

Part 2. Concepts and determinations

4. The concepts and terms used in this Provision mean the following:

The warning of shutdown - the written notice sent by the supplier, the operator of network, occasionally, to the final consumer on the sample established by National regulation agency in power (further the Agency) in which the final consumer is warned about possible disconnection of its electroinstallations from power network.

Permission to connection - the written notice issued to the applicant by the operator of network in whom optimal technical and economic conditions, and also obligatory works which the applicant for connection of its electroinstallation to power network shall execute are specified.

Control of the measuring equipment - set of the operations performed by the operator of network, using special devices or without them, for the purpose of establishment of condition of functioning of the measuring equipment, ascertaining of interventions in operation of the measuring equipment, including integrity checking of the measuring equipment and the imposed seals.

Shutdown - gap of electric connection between power network of the operator of network and, electroinstallations of the final consumer by means of switching devices or by detachment of wires/cables from power network.

The wrong invoice - the invoice on payment of electrical energy in which the supplier incorrectly specifies the cost of the consumed electrical energy, the rate or amount of the consumed electrical energy calculated on the basis of real indications of the measuring equipment. The invoice exposed on the basis of approximate calculations is not considered the wrong invoice.

The supplier - the owner of the license for delivery of electrical energy on regulated rates.

The compensating installation - the equipment complex, component of electroinstallation of the final consumer intended for compensation of reactive capacity.

Temporary electroinstallation - the electroinstallation built for consumption of electrical energy throughout specific period of time, but no more than one year.

The feeding installation - electroinstallation by means of which communication between power network and electroinstallation of the final consumer is performed. The feeding installation does not turn on the power transformer which is considered as property of the final consumer.

Unplanned break in electric utility service - the temporary termination of electric utility service to final consumers connected with accidents in the power supply network without disconnection of electroinstallations of final consumers from power network.

The planned break in electric utility service - the temporary termination of electric utility service to final consumers without disconnection of electroinstallations of final consumers from    power network connected with accomplishment of the planned operational and/or recovery work of power network which is carried out by the operator of network with the advance notification on it of final consumers.

The place of consumption - location of electroinstallation of the final consumer, including electrical units of the subconsumers where the electrical energy delivered through one or several differentiating Items is consumed.

Places public - corridors, staircase, the elevator, loggias of the apartment apartment house, halls, cellars, technical floors, common kitchens, general laundries and general drying rooms, assembly halls and others where the electrical energy is consumed for satisfaction of total requirements of all residents of this house.

The operator of network - the operator of the transferring network and system and/or the operator of distribution network.

Contractual capacity - the electric power which the final consumer has the right to consume from power network on site of consumption and which is approved by the parties in case of the conclusion of the delivery agreement of electrical energy.

The capacity consumed in peak hours of the schedule nagruzkinaibolshy capacity with duration of permanent registration at least 30 minutes, approved by the parties in case of the conclusion of the delivery agreement of electrical energy which the final consumer has the right to consume in the period of peak loads of the distribution or transferring power supply network.

The minimum emergency capacity - the electric power strictly necessary for the final consumer for maintenance in working order the technical means ensuring safety of the equipment and personnel.

The minimum technology capacity - the smallest electric power necessary for the consumer for maintenance in working order the equipment and installations which work is caused by engineering procedure, in order to avoid irreplaceable production losses.

Internal network - the system consisting of wires, cables, switching devices and other equipment and providing distribution of electrical energy in the apartment apartment house from input to the switching device established at each apartment of the apartment apartment house.

Emergency in electric utility system - situation in which it is impossible to support parameters of functioning of electric utility system in admissible limits because of damage of some installations and the electrical power equipment or because of violation of balance of production consumption of electrical energy and capacity.

Violation of seal of the operator of network - falsification of the seal imposed by the operator of network; lack of the seal imposed by the operator of network; the damage or other impact on the original seal imposed by the operator of network leading to its shift on thread; failure of thread of the seal imposed by the operator of network.
