Calculation of Electricity Benefits for Labor Veterans in the Moscow Region in 2020

Payment for electricity is carried out in many ways. Payments for the consumption of utility services are sent remotely through online resources, paid in cash through cash registers, or compensated by bank transfer. By law, a person must make payment no later than the tenth day of the month following the reporting period.

And, given that the payment for electricity is not an instant transfer and the money can take several hours (or even days) to reach the recipient, it is better for the population to pay a few days before the agreed date. Otherwise, sanctions may be applied in the form of withholding a penalty or temporarily turning off the lights in the apartment.

Introduction

As practice shows, citizens pay for electricity at the last minute. This is due to being busy at work and the inability to leave the work office to pay for utilities. Also, the absence of a receipt, which arrives before the 10th, delays the process of paying for the use of electricity.

In any case, on the ninth day it is almost impossible to get to the cash register to repay the cost of the resources used. It’s definitely not possible to avoid huge queues, and therefore people need to think about other options for paying for electricity.

SNT electricity tariff

Advice from lawyers:

1. Can the chairman of SNT independently raise electricity tariffs.

1.1. The board of a horticultural non-profit partnership (SNYAT) does not have the right to set tariffs for electricity payments, since this issue relates exclusively to the functions of the state and is the subject of state regulation (Clause 1, Article 23.1 of the Federal Law “On Electric Power Industry”). In addition, at present, the basis for the activities of such a legal entity as SNYAT is determined by the special Federal Law “On the conduct of gardening by citizens for their own needs and on amendments to certain legislative acts of the Russian Federation” (the law on gardening). This law defines the powers of REMOVE bodies, including the board. The list of powers of the board of REMOVE includes general issues of current management of the partnership’s activities and is closed. It does not include the issue of setting tariffs.

Mail

The payment period for electricity is the same for all subscribers and it stops counting when the money arrives in the account of the service provider. The processing speed of scheduled payments depends on the service used. The post office is not the best assistant in this regard, since there have been numerous complaints from citizens regarding the long processing time for submitted receipts.

Long queues must be added to the list of disadvantages. But in defense of post offices, it is necessary to recall their prevalence and presence in every locality. In addition, Russian Post offers the lowest commission fees for transactions.

Financial organizations

Banking organizations are in great demand if it is necessary to pay for electricity for a new period. This is due to the fact that financial institutions operate throughout Russia, carry out procedures quickly and, in most cases, do not charge a commission for making a payment.

The choice of where to pay for energy is the right of the client himself. The calculation will be carried out according to the following algorithm:

• providing a payment to the cashier;
• indication of the payer's personal account;
• checking the address of the house for which services are paid (locality, avenue/street, house and apartment number; entrance number is not indicated);
• an indication of the amount of deductions and for what period the money is transferred;
• depositing funds;
• receiving a paper receipt showing the date of the transaction.

Sberbank offers its clients to create a template based on the executed payment or to set up an automatic transfer function. In this case, repeated utility payments will be debited from the bank card on the agreed day.

Under government control

No drastic changes in electricity bills are expected in 2020. Current legislation does not allow resource supply organizations to greatly inflate electricity prices. A decree against the unreasonable increase in prices for housing and communal services, including electricity, was signed by the Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Dmitry Anatolyevich Medvedev in the summer of 2019.

The maximum and minimum tariff limits are set by the Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS). Deviation from the upper and lower limits of the given range threatens big troubles for local authorities. If an unreasonable increase in prices is detected, until they are recalculated, residents of the violating region will pay for electricity at the minimum tariff. Prices are adjusted in a similar way if the authorities completely forget to set tariffs in the new period.

Let us recall that previously the Federal Antimonopoly Service also set cost limits per kW/h. But the information on prices was advisory in nature. Therefore, local authorities often raised prices for energy transmission without coordination with the antimonopoly agency. This led to a situation where the difference in the cost of services within one region varied tenfold. And the average increase in the final price for energy often significantly exceeded the level established by the forecast of socio-economic development of the regions. After the government decree came into effect against unjustified increases in prices for housing and communal services, such a situation is excluded. Now regional authorities cannot “bypass” the stage of coordinating tariffs with the antimonopoly service. Therefore, the cost of electricity for Russians in 2020 will not rise above the level of predicted inflation.

The increase in prices per kW/h in 2020, as before, will depend on the type of house (with or without electric stoves) and on the structure of electricity consumption by a particular household (daily tariffs always increase in price unevenly).

Payment using modern technologies

Payment for connection and use of electricity can be provided by citizens remotely, that is, via the Internet. To do this, you will need a good and uninterrupted Internet connection, as well as having a payment card and subscriber book at hand. In the Russian Federation in 2020, you can use the following options for paying utility bills via the Internet:

• online or internet banking;
• personal account of the electronic payment system;
• State Services portal;
• debiting from the balance of a mobile phone.

General rules for paying for housing and communal services include:

• mandatory prior authorization on the site;
• selecting a payment menu for housing and communal services;
• clarification that the costs of Mosenergosbyt are compensated;
• input of building characteristics (location address, owner);
• display of personal account number;
• indication of the payment amount taking into account tariffs;
• choosing a source from which money will be debited;
• confirmation of the transfer.

The procedure ends with the production of a virtual receipt, which can be viewed online. The option to print a receipt immediately or in the future is also available.

Payment for electricity at tariffs through the Mosenergosbyt website

On the Mosenergosbyt website, through your personal account, you can submit meter readings and pay for electricity online for utilities by credit card or other means. A receipt will be saved in the client’s personal account, which you can print at any time.

Preferential tariff

You can get a reduction in the cost of electricity at a preferential tariff. To apply for a benefit in the amount established by the state, you must provide a package of documents (originals or copies certified by a notary) through your personal account, or by contacting Mosenergosbyt branches.

Metering devices

Another significant change in the rules for paying for electricity, introduced by the Government Resolution, concerns the rules for calculating energy consumption. Thus, for the second year in Russia there has been an order to install a light meter in every residential and non-residential premises. This device allows you to accurately determine how much resources a particular family spends.

Those citizens who ignored the order were faced with a procedure for forced installation of accounting tools.

Benefits of installing an electric meter:

• the citizen will pay as much as he consumes;
• the ability to constantly monitor resource consumption by the provider;
• fair pricing of energy;
• reduction of tariffs due to the absence of excessive costs for energy companies.

Tariffs for paying for electricity in the Moscow region in the 2nd half of 2020

In the table below you can see the tariffs for electricity. energy for residents of the Moscow region, the validity period of which extends to the second half of 2020.

According to the order of the Government of the Russian Federation, it was decided to approve the attached indices for utilities for the 2nd half of 2020 for all constituent entities of the Russian Federation.

From July 1, tariff rates were planned to increase in accordance with the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation. The specified tariffs are used to calculate the final cost of electricity used by consumers based on meter readings.

The indicated tariffs are intended to calculate the cost of paying for consumed electricity. energy according to meter readings. Tariffs come into effect on July 1, 2020.

Electricity tariffs presented below in the tables for the population and equivalent categories of consumers in the city of Moscow and the Moscow region are indicated in the ratio rub./kWh

How to save money?

There are currently no plans to change the salary - the cost of one kilowatt of light, but people still continue to complain about unreasonably high tariffs. Today, according to statistics, one family spends an average of 70 kilowatts of electricity per month. This is not much, considering the cost of utilities.

When receiving a receipt, a citizen needs to pay attention to the number of light units used, the cost of one kilowatt and the total number of payments.

There is a clever way to save a little on your lighting expenses. Thus, the cost of one unit of energy at night is significantly less than during the day. Therefore, you can use appliances such as a washing machine, microwave oven and multicooker at night before the tariff increases.

How much will you have to pay

It is planned that electricity tariffs will be divided into two categories. Those who consume up to 300 kWh per month will pay the base tariff, the lowest. Those who consume more than 300 kWh get a higher price. And those who do not save and spend more than 500 kWh - according to “economically justified”, high.

“This practice has already existed in the country. Now it has become relevant again. This measure of support is especially important for people in remote regions of the country, where incomes are not as high as in large cities. This will encourage many to buy energy-saving light bulbs, turn off the lights, and save in order to meet the “cheap” tariff,”

— Valery Chernyshov, General Director of the Urban Reconstruction of Five-Story Buildings State Enterprise, tells EG.RU.

Experts note that on average there is 89 kWh per person per month, but there are regions where this figure is much higher. For example, in the Irkutsk region it can reach up to 225 kWh.

In addition to the norm, the number of legal entities will be reduced, which are calculated at the same tariffs as ordinary people equated to the population. Now gardening and vegetable gardening partnerships, garage cooperatives, outbuildings, religious organizations, and prisons can count on discounts.

For rural residents who use electric heating, benefits will be gradually abolished. They, as reported by Kommersant, will be replaced by reduction factors.

How to use two-tariff accounting?

Another way to save money is to purchase a two-tariff meter. This is a special device that indicates energy consumption by hour of the day. There are two marks on the body of the device indicating the change of time of day. So, the purchase of such a meter can be carried out independently or through an employee of the energy company. If a citizen buys a meter on his own, then he will additionally have to invite specialists to install the equipment, check it and seal it.

Purchasing a device from a service provider can cost a family approximately 3,000 rubles. As practice shows, these costs pay off in a couple of years. Thus, after purchase, the equipment is installed in a residential area and allows owners to regulate electricity consumption at specific hours.

Payment for services is carried out according to a receipt, which indicates the cost of the device and the price of installation work. The money is transferred to the bank account specified in the payment order. If there are other meters in the apartment (dormitory room), the device is dismantled.

Output tariff

In the near future, it is planned to make changes to the agreement on the provision of electricity to citizens. Thus, a new preferential tariff is expected to come into force – a weekend offer. This means that on Saturday, Sunday, and public holidays, money for consumed resources will be withheld at a new rate. This amount will be calculated from the average daily (high) and night (low) tariffs. Thus, the population will be able to save some more personal savings when paying for utilities.

An increase in the amount of deductions is possible only if the subscriber has accumulated debt. In addition to the required payment amount, a penalty is added. If the overdue amount is not repaid promptly, utility companies may cut off electricity. Upon receiving a notification from the energy company, the subscriber will have to call the company and clarify under what circumstances the debt arose.

If the citizen is not guilty of the violation, then one will have to turn to legal methods of protecting interests. First, a statement is prepared addressed to the head of the organization with evidence that the user is not at fault. If this does not help, then a statement of claim is prepared in court.

How it was before

The first attempt to introduce social standards for electricity consumption was made in 2013-2014. Then the indicators that were approved by the government were stricter than those that are being discussed now.

To pay the reduced tariff, you had to spend from 50 to 190 kWh per month per person. The pilot project started in seven regions, but the results were not at all what was expected in Moscow. Yes, in central Russia almost 90% of all households fit into the indicator. But in Transbaikalia only 9%.

“On average, 2-3 people live in a family. We multiply 89 kWh by two and get 178. It turns out that the average family fits into the social norm. If savings reach at least 10% of current tariffs, then this reform will be positively assessed by consumers. Another question is that the transition to such tariffs will raise many questions among the population. You will probably need to confirm your family composition in order to receive some benefits and write applications. It will take more than one year before everything starts working. There is another problem: those who do not fit into existing norms will come up with different schemes, because they have to live somehow. And we have enough Kulibins in our country,”

— argues Irina Kavyleva , an independent expert in the field of housing and communal services.
