How to calculate power consumption without a meter
Calculation of energy consumption by the meter
For the population living in private houses and apartments and equipped with metering elements, it is quite easy to calculate the consumed electricity for a certain period of time. To do this, you just need to look at the readings for the current month, subtract from them the readings for the previous month and multiply by the current tariff. In this case, you need to be careful because only numbers indicated before the decimal point are taken into account. About, how to take readings from an electric meter, we described in detail in a separate article.
If there is an accounting element and an agreement is signed with the supplier on a two-tariff or multi-tariff consumption regime, then a special calculation is carried out. The cost of each kilowatt / hour depends on the time of day. During the day, the price of electricity will be more expensive, and at night cheaper. At the same time, this counter is a modern electronic device that records consumption and displays it on the display. Without difficulty, at any time it is possible to view separately the readings for day and night, and then calculate in the same way, multiplying the difference by the corresponding tariff. The cost of one kW / h directly depends on the type of living space:
- with gas stove;
- with electric stove.
For houses that are located in a village or village, the standards may also differ.
Prices for legal entities and enterprises differ from prices for the population and depend on the total market bid for a particular region. You can view this information on the website of the guaranteeing electricity supplier.
Calculation without a counter (according to the standard)
If electricity consumption is calculated and paid on the meter without difficulty, then in the case when it is not there, the situation and the calculation formula changes radically. For a private house or a residential building in an apartment building, there is a standard that depends on the following factors:
- the number of rooms, while their size is necessarily taken into account;
- the presence or absence of an electric stove;
- the number of residents registered on housing.
It is generally accepted that these figures are derived from average statistical values, but, unfortunately, as practice shows, they are far from reality.
In 2017, a coefficient of 1.5 was taken into account according to the standard, and this is connected, officials say, with an increase in the number of electrical appliances and as a result of the total capacity. In this regard, the consumption of non-accounted electricity has become so unprofitable that it resembles more penalties than payment according to the standard.
Here is an example of real derived consumption. For a two-room apartment in one of the high-rise buildings, in which two people are registered officially, there is an electric stove. The standard per person is 91 kW / h. in order to calculate the monthly payment you need:
- Take the standard of 91 kW / h, derived by electricity suppliers and officials, multiply by the number of residents living, that is 2.
- Multiply by the current tariff of 3.53 rubles per 1 kilowatt / hour.
- And once again multiply by a factor of 1.5.
In this case, a rather impressive amount of 964 rubles is obtained.
How not to pay a boost ratio
There is an opportunity to completely legally refuse to pay and calculate electricity according to the standard given the increasing coefficient. To do this, you need to provide a document (certificate) confirming that:
- installation of an electric energy metering element is not possible for technical reasons;
- residential building recognized as emergency.
The assumption of the optional installation of metering devices in houses recognized as dilapidated, emergency or subject to major repairs is given in paragraph 1 of Art. 13 of Federal Law No. 261.
Calculation for non-residential public premises
Calculation of consumed electricity for general household needs, abbreviated as ONE, was recently added to the utility bill as a separate line. Since January 2017, changes have occurred, but this figure cannot disappear anywhere, because someone has to pay for electricity. The list of these needs includes the following:
- Lighting staircase, stairwell.
- Power intercoms and camcorders, if installed to maintain order.
- Elevator Power Supply.
- Other types of energy loss in apartment building networks.
Naturally, the amount of payment directly depends on the readings of the meters, but their installation for monitoring networks of non-residential premises does not always exist. If there is a meter, then each apartment will pay the amount corresponding to the area of residence. Nevertheless, this option is calculated by power and depends on it; the situation with accounting without a counter is slightly different.
How are such calculations carried out if the accounting element does not exist? As with residential premises, there is a general standard established by the administration of the region. After that, this indicator is multiplied by the area of the house building and the area of an individual apartment of a multi-storey building. Each region has its own norm and it is a key value in calculating electricity consumption.
As you can see, at present, a serviceable electric meter for both residential and public buildings and consumers is the only effective way to pay less, and only for the energy actually consumed. Now you know how to calculate electricity according to the standard and understand how expensive it is to pay electricity bills without a meter!
