for each organization and for any individual one of the most important issues is an uninterrupted connection to the mains.In our modern life is impossible to live without electricity: in everyday life we are surrounded by plenty of appliances and machinery, and power outages in the production stops the workflow and losses.
The contract between the supplier and the consumer
between each energy user and supplier of energy there is a contract that is not recorded on paper, but, nevertheless, has a force.This agreement shall come into force from the moment of electrical connection, and your regular monthly payments to confirm that it is fully operational.The Civil Code of the Russian Federation attributed the impossibility of rescission of the contract unilaterally, and hence a power outage should be carried out only in situations strictly defined by the legislation of the Russian Federation.
Grounds for power outages
1. If an agreement on the supply of electricity shall be terminated with the consent of both parties.
2. The customer has violated the terms of the agreement: there is a debt to pay for electricity, unauthorized connection to the network, unmetered consumption.Turn off electricity for non-payment may be complete or partial.Partial shutdown is possible if there are technical means to establish a regime of limited use.The supplier must notify the customer at least 15 days prior to the imposition of restrictions.
If the consumer is in arrears for three accounting periods, the supplier has the right to disconnect the electricity.But in this case, he shall notify the consumer at least 15 days.The two-week postponement is given to the debtor has the ability to pay the bills until the day of H.
After repayment of debt fast enough electricity connected (three days in the city, for up to seven days in the countryside), but the consumer is obliged to pay the connection.And to argue in this case is useless.
3. By decision of the RTN.This usually occurs in cases where the power receiving apparatus does not meet the safety requirements.
4. Turn off electricity deemed legitimate in the circumstances of force majeure, in an emergency or accident.
5. Planned shutdown.Here the consumer is important to know the following: the total number of hours per year - less than 72, but not more days in a row.
Illegal power outage
Unauthorized disabling need to prove in court.In another way, unfortunately, will not work if you turned off the light, then the supplier is absolutely sure of the legality of their actions.Or in his impunity.
So, if you think that the power outage was illegal, seek legal advice for confirmation, and then you can go to court.
Remember that the Russian legislation provides for liability for illegal supplier blackout until the criminal.Criminal liability should be in cases where the shutdown resulted in major financial losses, damage to property or other serious consequences.
