Govt clarifies electricity billing rules for SNTs and garages

The government has established new rules for calculating electricity bills for consumers classified as equivalent to residents.

Consensus

• The government has issued updated rules for electricity billing for consumers classified as equivalent to residential users.
• SNTs, garage cooperatives, and utility providers must provide data on the number of units, plots, garages, and outbuildings to energy suppliers.
• The information will be used to calculate electricity costs using differentiated tariffs.
• The changes regulate the billing process and do not affect the overall tariff level.
• The changes aim to improve transparency and objectivity in contracts between suppliers and consumers.

Points of divergence

• The FAS prepared a draft order that includes accounting for safety and network restoration costs in industrial tariffs, and developed a draft unified law on tariff regulation with a long-term principle of setting tariffs for at least five years. — vedomosti
