Conclusion of a power supply contract with an individual and legal entity

Electricity is the main type of energy that is very widely used in production and in everyday life, to convert it into mechanical (electric motor) or thermal (heater) energy. It is unlikely that it will be possible to produce it in artisanal conditions, and even with great power, therefore there are various kinds of power plants that not only generate electricity, but also subsequently supply it to the consumer for a certain fee. In order to receive this product, you need to know that you can conclude an appropriate contract for the supply of electricity, or you can not do it. This raises a lot of questions. In this article, we will try to explain in as much detail as possible how the contract for power supply for individuals and legal entities, as well as what documents need to be prepared in advance.

What is an electricity contract

A power supply contract is a formal agreement with a power supply company under which the power supply company or organization undertakes provide the consumer with electricity with clearly defined standard indicators, and the subscriber, in turn, is obliged to pay its cost without delays. Also, the consumer must ensure the safe operation of networks in accordance with the rules of the PUE (rules for electrical installations) and use serviceable electrical appliances. The calculation of the consumed energy for a certain period of time is controlled by special devices - meters, which must be checked and sealed. Removal of seals and illegal connection to power grids past the metering device of the electricity supplier is prohibited and punishable by law.

Thus, this document is public and there are two sides to it:

• One provides services for the sale of energy of appropriate quality.
• The other pays for them and observes the power supply regimes.

The agreement has a free structure and content, so the parties can conclude a document without observing a certain sample, although there is a legal and legal form for it.

The procedure for concluding a contract with an individual

In accordance with regulation No. 442 dated 04/05/2012 as spelled out in p. 72 of the "Basic Provisions for the Operation of Retail Electricity Markets" for individuals, a contract for the supply of electricity can be concluded not only on paper. For this, it is enough that the consumer is properly connected to the power supply in agreement with the power supply. However, if during operation any disagreements arise between the parties, then the disputable situation can be resolved, only if you introduce yourself as a subscriber, a document on payment for consumed electricity, documented and signed by both parties. In this case, the term of the agreement will start from the first paid period.

If an individual still wishes to conclude a written contract for the supply of power supply services, then he needs to send an application to the address of the supplier of last resort. The application must include the following documents:

1. A copy of the home owner's passport.
2. Documents confirming the ownership of the power receiving devices, which can be either an apartment or any other object.
3. House book, to confirm the number of residents registered in the house. If there is no house book, it is enough to attach copies of the passports of those who are registered at this address.
4. Registration certificate for the house.
5. A document confirming a permit drawn up by the grid company on the technically correct and safe connection to the power grid.
6. An act of checking the metering device, if the subscriber wants to put his own.

You can get the exact information by calling your power supply organization directly. For example, you may need a subscription book for electricity bills from the previous owner.

Sample statement:

In this case, an act on the technically correct connection and differentiation of capacities is drawn up with the network organization and is signed by it after completing all measures aimed at the absence of violations, such as short circuit, incorrect phrasing, and so on. Even if the network organization prevents or delays the issuance of this act, then the future consumer may contact directly the supplier of last resort, registered in the region, and he has no right to refuse the conclusion contract. After that, the supplier is obliged to request the missing documents himself or to check the technically correct connection in the network organization.

It is also important to know what the terms of the conclusion of the power supply contract are. The document must be provided after submitting the application within 30 days, if any documents are not even enough, then the citizen (physical. person) has the right to connect the consumer to the power supply without documentation, in accordance with the provision of clause 74. At the same time, the supplier must independently verify compliance with all the necessary conditions for concluding an agreement.

As a result, the conclusion of the written document itself is more necessary for the electricity supplier himself, and for the owner of a private at home, or a person living in an apartment, in a new building, a receipt for payment for consumed electricity in full volume. This even applies to controversial situations that are being examined in court.

The procedure for concluding an agreement with a legal entity

As for the conclusion of an agreement with a legal entity, here not only an agreement on electricity supply, but also a contract for the sale (supply) of electrical power with the subsequent supply of electricity sub-subscribers. At the same time, a public agreement is still concluded with the supplier company in the form of a single document, which indicates all converting and distribution devices. They must also be repaired and operated on time, in accordance with the same electrical installation rules (PUE).

Termination of an agreement with a legal entity is possible unilaterally only if there are significant violations by one of the parties.

Consumer connection conditions

In accordance with the Civil Code of the Russian Federation (Art. 539, p. 2) an energy supply contract with a consumer of electrical energy can be concluded if he has one that meets the established technical requirements of the power receiving device connected to the networks of the power supply organization, and other necessary equipment, as well as when ensuring the accounting of the consumed electricity. In such conditions, both parties are interested - the parties to the electricity supply agreement. This condition is taken into account if, for example, the registration of a connection and an agreement for the supply of electricity in a new house, in SNT, and even in a non-residential premises (garage) is carried out.

What may cause the need to renegotiate the contract

Energy Sales provides for an annual renegotiation campaign annually, which is planned in advance. The consumer can refuse this and automatically renew the existing agreement by paying for electricity at the established tariff. Also, in the event of a change of ownership and in the absence of payment arrears, the agreement may be renegotiated.

As you can see, each consumer has his own rights and obligations, which are recommended to be observed so as not to problems appeared, but with timely payment, any citizen can easily prove his innocence in court.
