Calculation of electricity according to the standard without a meter in 2017

In order to use the services and goods (electricity) provided by the suppliers electricity, each consumer must be equipped with a serviceable and verified metering element, that is counter. The calculation of energy consumption should be carried out according to the readings taken, however, what if the electricity meter was stolen, removed for some reason, or invalidated? In this case, electricity is calculated according to the standard (without a meter).

Calculation of energy consumption by 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 the readings for the previous month from them and multiply by the current tariff. In this case, you need to be careful, because only the numbers before the decimal point are taken into account. About,

how to take readings from an electric meter, we have described in detail in a separate article.

If there is an accounting element and an agreement has been signed with the supplier on a two-tariff or multi-tariff mode of consumption, then a special calculation is carried out. The cost of each kilowatt / hour depends on the time of day. During the day, the price for electricity will be more expensive, and at night it will be cheaper. At the same time, this meter is a modern electronic device that records the flow and displays it on the display. Without difficulty, at any time it is possible to view separately the readings for the day and night, and then calculate in the same way by multiplying the difference by the corresponding tariff. The cost of one kW / h directly depends on the type of dwelling:

• with a gas stove;
• with an electric stove.

For houses located in a village or settlement, the standards may also differ.

Prices for legal entities and enterprises differ from prices for the population and depend on the total market trades for a particular region. You can view this information on the website of the electricity supplier of last resort.

Calculation without meter (according to the standard)

If the electricity consumption is calculated and paid without difficulty according to the meter, then in the case when it is not there, the situation and the calculation formula radically changes. For a private house or dwelling in an apartment building, there is a standard that depends on the following factors:

• the number of rooms, while their size by area must be taken into account;
• the presence or absence of an electric stove;
• the number of residents registered on the living space.

It is generally accepted that these figures are derived from the average statistical values, but, unfortunately, as practice shows, they are far from reality.

In 2017, according to the standard, a coefficient of 1.5 was taken into account, and this connected, according to officials, with an increase in the number of electrical appliances and, as a result, the overall power. In this regard, the consumption of unaccounted electricity has become so unprofitable that it looks more like penalties than payment according to the standard.

Here is an example of real consumption inferred. For a two-room apartment in one of the high-rise buildings, in which two people are officially registered and there is an electric stove. The standard for one person is 91 kWh. in order to calculate the monthly payment you need:

1. Take the 91 kWh standard deduced by electrical suppliers and officials, multiply by the number of residents living, that is, 2.
2. Multiply by the current tariff, which is 3.53 rubles per kilowatt / hour.
3. And once again multiply by the multiplying factor 1.5.

In this case, a rather impressive amount of 964 rubles is obtained.

How not to pay a multiplier

The fact is that it is possible to completely legally refuse to pay and calculate electricity according to the standard, taking into account the multiplying coefficient. To do this, you need to provide a document (certificate) confirming that:

• installation of an electric energy metering element is impossible for technical reasons;
• the dwelling house was recognized as emergency.

Calculation for non-residential public premises

The calculation of consumed electricity for general house needs, abbreviated as ODN, was recently entered into the utility bill by a hotel line. Since January 2017, there have been changes, but this figure cannot disappear anywhere, because someone has to pay for electricity. The list of these needs includes the following:

• Lighting of the entrance, staircase.
• Power supply of intercoms and video cameras, if they are installed to maintain order.
• Power supply for elevators.
• Other types of energy losses in the networks of apartment buildings.

Naturally, the amount of payment directly depends on the readings of the meters, but their installation to control networks of non-residential premises does not always exist. If, nevertheless, 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 for metering without a meter 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 regional administration. After that, this indicator is multiplied by the area of ​​the common household and by the area of ​​a single apartment in a multi-storey building. Each region has its own norm and it is the key value in calculating electricity consumption.

As you can see, currently a serviceable electric meter for both residential and public premises and of consumers is the only effective method of paying less, and only for the actually spent energy. Now you know how to calculate electricity according to the standard and understand how expensive it is to pay electricity bills without a meter!
