How does the renewal of power supply occur

Reasons for entering restriction mode

The regime for limiting the supply of electricity is introduced if the consumer does not fulfill or improperly fulfills the terms of the contract for electricity supply. For example, it has debts for at least 1 settlement period specified in the contract, and for citizens-consumers - for at least 2 settlement periods. And also in the case of unaccounted electricity consumption. For example, it may be illegal to connect to the power supply system or connecting to the network before the meter - the so-called “bypass”.

And also as a result of actions or connecting electrical installations that violate the characteristics of the technological connection. Or actions that lead to malfunctioning protective circuits and lack of devices reactive power compensation and improper condition of some parts of the electrical household or electrical installations in general. In addition to all this, such a regime can be introduced in the event of a change of ownership, in case of non-conclusion or until the entry into force of a new agreement.

So, you can be cut off or limited by power supply if:

• Disconnect for non-payment electricity consumption of an energy distribution, supply or network organization.
• They connected to the network illegally or bypassing the counter.
• If your facility does not meet the requirements specified in the technical specifications.
• The electrical installation is in poor condition, it can cause harm to human health or the environment, as well as disrupt the functioning of the power supply system.
• The owner of the property has changed, but a new contract has not been concluded.
• In case of accidents or repair work on the line, adjacent electrical facilities and other things, if the performance of these works is impossible with the full operation of the power supply network.

Grounds for resuming filing

There are three reasons for renewing the supply of electrical energy. Moreover, the timing of this procedure depends on the specific situation, for example:

1. After eliminating the reasons for introducing a consumer restriction regime. For example, after paying a debt for electricity consumption. In this case, the initiator of the restriction must restore power supply within 24 hours after receiving notification of the elimination of the reasons for its introduction.
2. On the basis of a court decision, in this case the terms and procedure are indicated in this decision.
3. If the restriction regime is recognized as unreasonable by the initiator of its introduction.In this case, the terms are not legally regulated.

To carry out the renewal procedure, they draw up the Act on the resumption of electricity supply. It is made up in 3 copies, and it is signed by persons who are present at the time of compilation and are interested in this procedure. The following information is entered into it:

1. TIN, KPP or full name of a person, TIN of an individual entrepreneur, name of organization.
2. Place, time and date of compilation.
3. The list of facilities in which power supply was cut off or limited.
4. Dates, namely the date and time at which the resumption of electricity supply will be made.
5. To what level will the electricity supply be resumed.
6. Where will the electricity supply procedure (address) take place.
7. The list of activities that will be carried out during the procedure for renewing the supply of electricity. If necessary, indicate the location of the switching devices.
8. Information about the location, numbers and current at the time of submission of meter readings.
9. Name of the person who is authorized to sign the act on behalf of the consumer.

If during the resumption of power supply to disconnected subscribers any facts were revealed or circumstances arose in which it could not be produced, this is indicated in the Act.

The organization that initiated the introduction of this regime (initiator) has the right to demand compensation of no more than 10,000 from entrepreneurs and consumer organizations, and for citizens - no more than 1,000. But this is possible if the restriction was introduced legally. If you in court have proved the initiator’s actions to be unlawful, the latter has no right to demand compensation.
