Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation N 1351 dated 10.11.17.

"On amendments to certain acts of the Government Russian Federation on issues of increasing the availability of energy infrastructure in relation to certain groups of consumers"

Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation N 861 of December 27, 2004 No.

"About approval of the Rules for Non-Discriminatory Access to Electricity Transmission Servicesenergy and the provision of these services, the Rules for Non-Discriminatory Access to Services foroperational dispatch control in the electric power industry and the provision of these services, the Rulesnon-discriminatory access to the services of the wholesale market trading system administratorand the provision of these services and the Rules for Technological Connection of Power Receivingdevices of consumers of electrical energy, facilities for the production of electricalenergy, as well as power grid facilities owned by grid organizationsand other persons, to electric networks"

Comments on Decree 1351

The features of making payments for electric energy are determined based on the readings of a metering device installed on the border of the balance sheet property of electric power facilities (power receiving devices);

It establishes the obligation of a person who has concluded a "direct" contract to pay part of the costs of paying for electricity consumed when using common property and part of the resulting losses of electricity;

Horticultural, horticultural and dacha non-profit associations of citizens are endowed with the status of subcontractors under power supply contracts;

An additional reason for limiting the mode of consumption of electrical energy is introduced - the appearance of a gardener's debt to pay for the consumed electrical energy or to pay part of the costs of paying for electrical energy consumed in the maintenance of common property or to pay for part of the loss of electrical energy.

CONSEQUENCES OF THIS REGULATION
- Previously, if the owner of a site on the territory of the SNT wanted to conclude an individual energy supply agreement (and not depend on the partnership in matters of energy supply), he had to conclude a special agreement with the SNT for the use of the partnership's power grids. This requirement has now been removed.

The metering device when installed in the SNT must be installed on the borders of the land plots of electricity consumers (if such installation is not possible, in a place as close as possible to the border of the land plot of the electricity consumer).

The list of documents that must be submitted to the power grid organization when applying for technological connection of SNT facilities has been changed. In particular, it is necessary to provide the number and list of SNT plots, indicating the data of the owners, cadastral numbers of the plots, as well as data on the volumes of electric power allocated to each of the plots.

When connecting to the power grid a site on the territory of the SNT, the owner of which is not a member of the association and conducts individual economic activity, it should be possible to disable the restriction (shutdown) of the power supply to this site without prejudice to the members of the SNT (owners of other sites on the territory of the SNT).

Payment for losses in the SNT networks, as well as the costs of ensuring the functioning of the energy infrastructure of the partnership, members of the SNT and "individuals" who have a "direct" contract with the energy retailer must pay on the same terms.

SNTs get the right to limit (cut off) the power supply to consumers connected to their networks. Previously, horticultural, dacha and horticultural associations did not have such a right officially. This right to cut off power supply can be exercised by SNTs if the "individuals" do not fulfill their obligations to compensate for losses in the partnership's networks and expenses for common infrastructure.

It is legislated that SNT has the right to introduce a regime of full or partial restriction electricity consumption (outage or power limitation) in the presence of arrears in payment for electricity and improper fulfillment of obligations to pay for a part of the cost of electricity consumed by infrastructure facilities and other property, as well as losses in SNT networks (this part of the cost of electricity is included in the Membership fee and accepted on a general meeting of SNT members). It follows from the latter that non-payment of the Membership fee also entails disconnection or limitation of electricity consumption.

It is legislated that SNT has the right to act as an INITIATOR to introduce a regime of full or partial restriction, and as a SUB-PERFORMER when performing the procedure for introducing such a restriction.

It is legally stipulated that everyone who is connected to the power grids of SNT is obliged to pay a part of the cost of electricity consumed when using common infrastructure facilities (for example, general street lighting on the territory of SNT) and other common property of SNT (for example, power supply to a water tower, common wells , gatehouses), as well as pay for part of the electricity losses that occur in SNT networks.

ITEM 144 "METERING DEVICES" from Decree No. 1351 of November 10, 2017
Metering devices are subject to installation at the boundaries of the balance sheet (in relation to members of a horticultural, horticultural or dacha non-profit association or citizens engaged in horticulture, horticulture or dacha farming on an individual basis on the territory of a horticultural, horticultural or dacha non-profit association, - at the boundaries of land plots) of electric power facilities (power receivers) of related entities of the retail market - consumers, producers of electrical energy (capacity) in retail markets, grid organizations that have a common border of balance sheet ownership (hereinafter referred to as related entities of the retail market), as well as in other places determined in accordance with this section in compliance with the requirements established by the legislation of the Russian Federation for the installation sites of metering devices. If it is not technically possible to install a metering device on the border of the balance sheet (in relation to a member of a horticultural, horticultural or dacha non-profit association or a citizen engaged in horticulture, horticulture or dacha farming on an individual basis on the territory of a horticultural, horticultural or dacha non-profit association, - at the border of the land plot ) electric power facilities (power receivers) of related retail market entities, the metering device is to be installed in a place as close as possible to the border of the balance sheet (in relation to a member of a horticultural, horticultural or dacha non-profit association or a citizen engaged in horticulture, horticulture or dacha farming on an individual basis in the territory horticultural, horticultural or dacha non-profit association - to the border of the land), in which there is a technical possibility of its installation. At the same time, by agreement between related entities of the retail market, a metering device to be used to determine the volume of consumption (production, transmission) of electric energy of one entity can be installed within the boundaries of electric power facilities (power receiving devices) of another adjacent entity.

In the event that an energy supply agreement is concluded by a member of a horticultural, horticultural or dacha non-profit association or a citizen engaged in horticulture, horticulture or dacha farming on an individual basis on the territory of a horticultural, horticultural or dacha non-profit association, such persons are required to pay part of the cost of electricity consumed when using infrastructure facilities and other property of common use of horticultural, horticultural and dacha non-profit associations, and part of the losses of electrical energy arising in power grid facilities owned by a horticultural, horticultural or dacha non-profit association, to such a horticultural, horticultural or dacha non-profit association.

At the same time, the procedure for calculating the part of the cost of electric energy consumed when using infrastructure facilities and other property, payable by members of horticultural, horticultural or dacha non-profit associations or citizens engaged in horticulture, horticulture or dacha farming individually on the territory of a horticultural, horticultural or dacha non-profit association general use of horticultural, horticultural and dacha non-profit associations, and part of the losses of electrical energy that occur in electric grid facilities owned by a horticultural, horticultural or dacha non-profit association should be the same for all members of horticultural, horticultural and dacha non-profit associations and citizens engaged in gardening, gardening or dacha farming on an individual basis on the territory of a horticultural, horticultural or dacha non-profit association, regardless of the existence of an agreement energy supply concluded in accordance with this document between a member of a horticultural, horticultural or dacha non-profit association or a citizen engaged in horticulture, horticulture or dacha farming on an individual basis on the territory of a horticultural, horticultural or dacha non-profit association, and a guarantee supplier or an energy sales (energy supply) organization. ";

There are no legal restrictions and special requirements for the installed certified equipment and installation work on the part of the energy sales company. The only conditions are constant free access to the supports with electricity metering units and the maximum installation height of 1,700 mm. (1.7 m) above ground level.

● The order of power supply in horticultural, horticultural and country non-profit associations of citizens has been specified. (Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of November 10, 2017 No. 1351 “On Amendments to Certain Acts of the Government of the Russian Federation on Increasing the Accessibility of Energy Infrastructure for Certain Consumer Groups”).

In particular:

The features of the implementation of payments for electrical energy are determined based on the readings of a metering device installed not on the border of the balance sheet ownership of electric power facilities (energy receiving devices);

It provides for the obligation of a person who has concluded a “direct” contract to pay part of the costs of paying for electricity consumed when using common property and part of the resulting losses of electricity;

Horticultural, horticultural and dacha non-profit associations of citizens are endowed with the status of subcontractors under power supply contracts;

An additional reason for limiting the mode of consumption of electrical energy is introduced - the emergence of a gardener's debt to pay for the consumed electrical energy or to pay part of the costs of paying for electrical energy consumed in the maintenance of common property, or to pay for part of the loss of electrical energy.

The beginning of the document is 11/22/2017.

● In case of non-fulfillment or untimely fulfillment of obligations to pay for electricity transmission services, the organization may be deprived of the status of a supplier of last resort (Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of November 11, 2017 No. 1365 “On Amendments to Certain Acts of the Government of the Russian Federation on Assigning the Status of Supplier of Last Resort to Organizations”).

The current legislation establishes the possibility of depriving an organization of the status of a supplier of last resort for incomplete or untimely fulfillment of obligations in the wholesale electricity and power market.

This Resolution provides for the possibility to deprive an organization of the status of a supplier of last resort in case of non-fulfillment or untimely fulfillment of obligations of guaranteeing suppliers to pay for electricity transmission services.

An obligation is being introduced for a grid organization, to which a debt has arisen, to submit a list of supporting documents to the Russian Ministry of Energy. The decision to deprive an organization of the status of a supplier of last resort is made by the Ministry of Energy of Russia on the basis of establishing the existence of a debt. The Resolution establishes the procedure and grounds for establishing such a fact. The fact that there are grounds for making a decision to withdraw the status of a supplier of last resort is established by a commission, which includes representatives of the Ministry of Energy of Russia, the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia, the Federal Antimonopoly Service of Russia and the authorized executive body of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation in whose territory the supplier of last resort operates.

The beginning of the document is 11/24/2017 (with the exception of certain provisions).

● Basic values of reliability indicators, values of coefficients of permissible deviations of actual values of reliability indicators from planned ones and maximum dynamics of improvement of planned reliability indicators for TCO groups were approved.

The Ministry of Energy of the Russian Federation by Order No. 976 of October 18, 2017 “On approval of the basic values of reliability indicators, the values of the coefficients of permissible deviations of the actual values of reliability indicators from the planned ones and the maximum dynamics of improving the planned reliability indicators for groups of territorial grid organizations that have comparable economic and technical characteristics and (or) operating conditions using the method of comparison of analogues” (Registered in the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation on November 13, 2017 under No. 48866) determined the above values for groups of grid organizations in order to approve long-term values of planned reliability indicators when regulating grid organizations.

● Approved a set of measures aimed at developing the functioning of power generating facilities operating on the basis of peat (Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of November 9, 2017 No. 1341 “On Amendments to the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of December 29, 2011 No. 1178 regarding the implementation of measures to support the production of electrical energy using peat as a fuel”).

These facilities are subject to the pricing rules established for generating facilities operating on the basis of the use of renewable energy sources. In particular, a base level of the rate of return on capital invested in a qualified peat-based generating facility is established.

A normative indicator of the installed capacity utilization factor for generating facilities operating on the basis of peat (as well as biomass and biogas) is approved in the amount of 0.45.

The Decree also establishes pricing features for electrical energy generated at facilities operating on the basis of peat in technologically isolated territorial energy systems and in territories that are not technologically connected to the Unified Energy System of Russia and technologically isolated territorial energy systems.

The beginning of the document is 11/21/2017.

● The Government of the Russian Federation approved new requirements for lighting devices, the application of which will begin on July 1, 2018 (Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of November 10, 2017 No. 1356 “On approval of requirements for lighting devices and electric lamps used in alternating current circuits for lighting purposes”).

According to the Decree, the application of the new requirements will be carried out in 2 stages. At the first stage, implemented from July 1, 2018 to December 31, 2019, lighting devices must comply with the new energy efficiency and performance requirements provided for by the decree. At the second stage, implemented from January 1, 2020, the level of active power losses in the ballasts of lamps for public and industrial premises with fluorescent or induction lamps should be no more than 8 percent.

The resolution establishes, in particular, the requirements for:

Energy efficiency of general purpose lamps;

Performance characteristics of general purpose lamps;

Energy efficiency of general purpose luminaires;

Performance characteristics of general purpose luminaires.

Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of July 20, 2011 No. 602 “On approval of requirements for lighting devices and electric lamps used in alternating current circuits for lighting purposes” is recognized as invalid.

The beginning of the document is 11/24/2017.

● On November 14, 2017, the text of the draft Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation “On Amendments to Certain Acts of the Government of the Russian Federation in order to clarify the procedure for pricing the capacity of generating facilities whose capacity is supplied to the wholesale market in a forced mode” was opened for public discussion.

According to paragraph 45 of the Fundamentals of pricing in the field of regulated prices (tariffs) in the electric power industry, approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated December 29, 2011 No. 1178 (hereinafter referred to as the Fundamentals of Pricing), when setting the price for capacity for a generating facility supplying capacity in a forced mode, such a price is determined not higher than the price level at which the power of such an object was sold in the previous year when it was delivered based on the results of competitive power takeoff or in a forced mode, unless otherwise provided by the Rules of the Wholesale Electricity and Power Market, approved by the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of December 27, 2010 No. 1172.

A number of generating companies entered the project of construction of new generating capacities in accordance with the general schemes for the development of regions before the entry into force of the rules for the functioning of the WECM and before the formation of a list of generation facilities, the construction of which is carried out on the basis of CSA, calculated on the basis of the methods of NP "Market Council", the cost of capacity which allows to provide investors with a return on invested funds, taking into account the economically justified return on investment capital.

The only mechanism that is currently implemented for newly built generation that is not included in the list of CSAs is the classification of generating equipment as generating facilities, the power of which is supplied in forced mode (VR).

However, this mechanism has limitations:

1. VR status is given for one year and requires permanent renewal, i.e. does not allow the company to plan long-term investments and interaction with financial institutions.

2. Payment for capacity may not exceed the price at which the capacity of the relevant generating facility was sold following the results of a competitive capacity takeoff or in a forced mode in calendar year the previous year of delivery.

The above restrictions create discriminatory conditions in relation to newly built generating facilities, since do not guarantee parameters similar to the CSA mechanism and serve as a significant limitation on attracting capital to the thermal generation of the Russian Federation.

In order to introduce an equivalent provision aimed at equalizing the terms of capacity trading for "new" generating facilities by applying similar conditions provided for trading in electricity under power supply agreements, the FAS Russia developed this draft resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation "On Amendments to Certain Acts of the Government of the Russian Federation Federation in order to clarify the procedure for pricing the capacity of generating facilities, the capacity of which is supplied to the wholesale market in a forced mode”, aimed at removing the restriction on the growth of capacity fees in relation to new generation facilities supplying capacity in a forced mode (using a pricing methodology similar to CSA).

Additionally, the draft resolution provides for changes aimed at reducing the financial and price burden for consumers of electrical energy (capacity) by excluding the obligation of generating facilities commissioned from 2007 to 2014 and having the status of “forced generation” to supply capacity under regulated contracts.

● On November 17, 2017, the text of the draft Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation is open for public discussion"On Amendments to the Rules of the Wholesale Electricity and Capacity Market".

The draft Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation was prepared by the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia in pursuance of the order of the Government of the Russian Federation dated November 8, 2016 No. AD-P9-7687.

The draft resolution provides for the improvement of the current procedure for differentiating the values of the coefficients used to determine the volume of undersupply of power (hereinafter referred to as the availability factors) specified in clauses 53 and 54 of the Rules for the Wholesale Electricity and Power Market, approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated December 27, 2010 No. 1172. in accordance with paragraph 55 of the Rules of the Wholesale Electricity and Capacity Market, the current procedure provides that the Ministry of Energy of Russia sets the values of availability factors in relation to generating facilities with a simultaneously low value of the installed capacity utilization factor (KIUM< 30%) и высоким значением коэффициента надежности (КН >0.1) for the previous year, based on the condition of their increase to the upper limits of the ranges established by paragraphs 53 and 54 of the Rules of the Wholesale Electricity and Capacity Market by 2018 at a rate that outpaces the increase in the corresponding values for other generating facilities.

The approach proposed by the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia provides for the abandonment of the application, in accordance with paragraph 55 of the Rules of the Wholesale Electricity and Capacity Market, in relation to all generating facilities from 2018, the values of availability factors that correspond to the upper limits of the ranges established by the specified Rules, and the transition to differentiation of the values of the coefficients by multiplying the values of the coefficients readiness, which correspond to the lower limit of the ranges, by a parameter calculated individually for each generating facility based on the statistics of its demand and reliability for the control period.

In order to optimal choice parameters for differentiating the values of availability factors, the draft resolution defines the following indicators calculated for each group of delivery points:

Indicator of reliability of power supply to the wholesale market (KN);

Power demand indicator (KW).

● Energy company T Plus returned more than 433 million rubles to the federal budget. illegal income.

The T Plus energy company, on the instructions of the Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS RF), transferred the first half of the illegally obtained income in the amount of 433 million rubles to the federal budget, the FAS reports.

In December 2014, FAS recognized T Plus as part of EnergosbyT Plus, IES - Energosbyt, Volzhskaya TGK, IES-Trading and IES (in 2015 consolidated into PJSC T Plus) violating antitrust laws. In particular, IES-Trading and T Plus entered into an illegal agreement that led to an increase in electricity prices for consumers in the European part of Russia.

The department issued an order to the T Plus group of persons to transfer to the budget income received as a result of violation of antimonopoly laws, which amounted to more than 860 million rubles. In November last year, the arbitration court supported the FAS in a dispute with T Plus for the return of 867.132 million rubles.

“This summer, the FAS Russia and PJSC T Plus entered into a settlement agreement, the company acknowledged the violation and received an installment payment. Currently, PJSC T Plus has transferred the first half of illegally obtained income to the federal budget. According to the settlement agreement, the company must transfer the remaining part by December 31, 2017,” the department notes.

In the period 2012-2014, the FAS initiated a number of cases against energy companies, which became indicative for other market participants. “An important role was played by the confirmation of the legality of the decisions and instructions of the antimonopoly department by the courts. Thus, law enforcement practice has been formed, which serves as a guideline for market participants not to violate antimonopoly laws,” Vitaly Korolyov, deputy head of the FAS, is quoted in the message.

The Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) of the Russian Federation again postponed the consideration of the case against Unipro and the System Operator of the Unified Energy System of Russia (SO UES) now to December 5.

In September 2015, Unipro commissioned the third power unit at Berezovskaya GRES. The unit was built within the framework of a power supply contract concluded with energy consumers. In February 2016, an accident occurred in the boiler room of the Berezovskaya GRES power unit, as a result of which its operation was stopped.

Since the accident, there has been no power supply, but Unipro continued to receive payment from consumers under previously concluded agreements. As a result, the effect for consumers amounted to about 1 billion rubles. Thus, consumers paid for power that was not actually supplied and could not be supplied due to the loss of equipment performance, which could lead to infringement of their interests, according to the FAS.

According to the Federal Antimonopoly Service, the System Operator should have initiated the procedure for testing the damaged power unit, and Unipro should have declared the need for re-certification of this equipment, but such actions were not taken. On the basis of these facts, the department in June initiated a case against Unipro and System Operator on the grounds of violation of the law on protection of competition. Consideration of the case was postponed several times due to the need for additional study of its materials.

● The FAS RF proposes to introduce long-term tariffs in the electric power industry.

The Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) of the Russian Federation proposes to introduce long-term tariffs in the electric power industry, - said the head of the department Igor Artemyev at a meeting on the development of the electric power industry with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“We understand that energy companies need long-term stability, which, again, low inflation allows us to predict today,” Artemyev said.

“If we talk about a number of other natural monopolies, then we are seriously thinking of saying that we are ready to set a ten-year tariff forecast. For example, in railway We have now decided with Arkady Vladimirovich (Dvorkovich, Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation - ed.) that until 2025, and later, you can set the tariff according to the inflation minus 0.1% scheme. We can offer the same to the power engineers. This will include, on the one hand, an economy mode, on the other hand, it will give long-term stability for modernization,” he said.

● More than 80% of violations of the legislation on connecting to networks relate to delays.

More than 80% of violations of antimonopoly law related to connection to networks relate to the timing of connection to the infrastructure, - Alexei Voronin, Deputy Head of the FAS Electricity Regulation Department, said during the round table.

“If you look at the very typology of violations of legislation related to connection, it shows that more than 80% of violations are related to the timing of connection to the infrastructure. The remaining percentage falls on the imposition of some non-existent conditions of the connection agreement or violation of the pricing procedure,” Voronin said.

According to him, in the first half of 2017 and in 2016 combined, more than 900 violations related to connecting to networks were detected.

“Breach of deadlines is often associated not with the unwillingness of network companies to carry out certain activities, but with the imperfection of the legislation,” Voronin explained.

He added that since 2012, more than 20 regulations have been adopted aimed at ensuring connection to the infrastructure. “From the point of view of tariff formation, all regulatory legal acts have already been adopted today, which allow establishing a single rate for connection to electric networks in each subject of the Federation. In our opinion, this practice should be extended to the entire infrastructure,” Voronin said.

According to the FAS, it would be relevant in Moscow to adopt a single act related to connecting to the entire infrastructure, which would fully regulate the entire procedure from the beginning of the application, as well as the pricing procedure, Voronin concluded.

● FAS: Specific measures are needed to improve payment discipline.

Deputy Head of the FAS Russia Vitaly Korolev took part and made a presentation at the round table, which was organized by the Committee on Economic Policy of the Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation. The event was dedicated to the issues of improving the payment discipline of consumers of energy resources and housing and communal services.

The meeting was attended by members of the Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation, representatives of federal and regional authorities.

In his report, he emphasized that in order to solve the problem of non-payments, it is necessary to change specific measures that can significantly reduce the risks of non-payments. So, in relation to departmental, state and municipal consumers of resources, it is advisable to use the mechanism of subsidiary liability of the founder for the debts of such organizations.

Most of the debts on the wholesale electricity market are currently created by non-payments of energy sales companies - guaranteeing suppliers operating in the territories of the republics of the North Caucasus.

“Undoubtedly, it is necessary to take measures to radically improve payment for the wholesale market by these companies, which are currently part of the Rosseti holding. Without a significant improvement in management, without drawing the attention of the leaders of the state-owned company and the Ministry of Energy to this problem, it will only get worse. The Federal Antimonopoly Service has been proposing and insisting for a long time on unconditional observance of the law and the alienation of these companies from the structure of grid companies, has repeatedly pointed this out to the Ministry of Energy, but so far the situation has not moved forward. Probably, such inefficiency, opacity and a high level of losses suits everyone, but this cannot be accepted by the market, where debts are only growing, and cannot be approved by the regulator responsible for compliance with all norms of the antimonopoly law,” Korolev said.

ON INTRODUCING AMENDMENTS TO SOME ACTS OF THE GOVERNMENT OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION ON INCREASING THE AVAILABILITY OF ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE WITH REGARD TO CERTAIN CONSUMER GROUPS

The Government of the Russian Federation decides:
Approve the attached changes that are being made to the acts of the Government of the Russian Federation on issues of increasing the availability of energy infrastructure in relation to certain groups of consumers.

CHANGES THAT ARE INTRODUCED TO ACTS OF THE GOVERNMENT OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION ON INCREASING THE AVAILABILITY OF ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE IN RELATION TO CERTAIN CONSUMER GROUPS

1. Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of December 27, 2004 N 861 "On approval of the Rules for non-discriminatory access to services for the transmission of electric energy and the provision of these services, the Rules for non-discriminatory access to services for operational dispatch control in the electric power industry and the provision of these services, the Rules non-discriminatory access to the services of the administrator of the wholesale market trading system and the provision of these services and the Rules for the technological connection of power receivers of consumers of electrical energy, facilities for the production of electrical energy, as well as electric grid facilities owned by grid organizations and other persons, to electric networks "(Collection of Legislation of the Russian Federation, 2004, N 52, Art.

The decree signed by Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, which comes into force on November 22, 2017, amends the key documents that regulate electricity supply. IN explanatory note it is said that the resolution "will reduce the number of procedures when interacting with retail market entities for members of horticultural, horticultural and country non-profit associations."

Important innovations include the following:

Previously, if the owner of a site on the territory of the SNT wanted to conclude an individual energy supply agreement (and not depend on the partnership in matters of energy supply), he had to conclude a special agreement with the SNT for the use of the partnership's power grids. This requirement has now been removed.

The right of power grids to use the SNT infrastructure to connect “individuals” has been re-declared, while SNT has no right to interfere with these actions and require any fee for this

When concluding an individual energy supply agreement, a member of the SNT or a person who is not a member of the SNT, but owning a site on the territory of the association, has the right, instead of documents confirming the connection to the networks of this particular section, to provide documents confirming the status of a member of the SNT at the time of connection to the power grids of the partnership as a whole . Or, as an option, "other documents" that confirm the actual consumption of electricity.

SNTs get the right to limit (cut off) the power supply to consumers connected to their networks. Previously, horticultural, dacha and horticultural associations did not have such a right officially.

This right to turn off the power supply of SNTs can be exercised if the "individuals" do not fulfill the obligation to compensate for losses in the networks of the partnership and the costs of the common infrastructure.
