When accessing services for the transmission of electrical energy in conditions of limited capacity of electrical networks, the possibility of charging additional fees is excluded.

31. Restriction of the right to receive electrical energy is possible only in the event of a deviation from the normal operating modes of the electrical network caused by emergencies and (or) the removal of electrical power facilities for repairs or out of operation and leading to a power shortage.

At the same time, the limitation of electrical energy consumption is carried out in accordance with acts of approval of emergency and technological armor.

32. The capacity of the electrical network is determined according to the design scheme of the Unified Energy System of Russia, developed by the system operator together with the organization for managing the unified national (all-Russian) electrical network, taking into account the forecast balances of electrical energy and power. When carrying out such calculations, repair schedules for main generating equipment (agreed with generating companies), equipment for electrical substations and power lines, and power receiving equipment for electrical energy consumers with a controlled load are also taken into account.

The system operator and the organization for managing the unified national (all-Russian) electrical grid communicate to market participants information about the limitations of the capacity of the electrical network, including the results of these calculations.

IV. The procedure for setting tariffs for electric energy transmission services, providing for taking into account the degree of use of power of the electric network

34. The consumer of services must notify the network organization at least 6 months before the next period of tariff regulation about the amount of declared capacity for the coming calendar year, which reflects the degree of use of power of the electrical network by the consumer of services.

The amount of declared power is determined for each point of connection and cannot exceed the maximum connected power at the corresponding point of connection to the network of this service consumer.

In the absence of the specified notification about the value of the declared power, when setting tariffs, the value of the maximum connected power of the power receiving device (power installation) of the service consumer is accepted.

When determining the basis for setting tariffs for the next regulation period, the grid organization has the right to use in relation to consumers of services that systematically exceed the amount of declared power, the amount of power declared by the consumer for the next regulation period or the actual amount of power used for the past period.

35. Tariffs for services for the transmission of electrical energy are established in accordance with the principles of pricing for electrical and thermal energy in the Russian Federation and the rules of state regulation and application of tariffs for electrical and thermal energy thermal energy in the Russian Federation, taking into account paragraph 34 of these Rules.

Consumers of services pay for losses of electrical energy in excess of the standard if it is proven that the losses arose through the fault of these consumers of services.

39. The amount of electrical energy losses in electrical networks, which is included in the fee for services for the transmission of electrical energy, is determined based on the standard for electrical energy losses. Loss standards are established by the authorized federal executive body in accordance with these Rules and the methodology for determining standard and actual losses of electrical energy in electrical networks.

40. Standards for losses of electrical energy in electrical networks are established in relation to the totality of power transmission lines and other electrical grid facilities belonging to the relevant network organization, taking into account differentiation by network voltage levels when setting tariffs for services for the transmission of electrical energy.

41. The methodology for determining standard and actual losses of electrical energy in electrical networks should provide for the calculation of losses based on:

technical characteristics of power lines and other power grid facilities that determine the amount of variable losses in accordance with the technology of transmission and conversion of electrical energy;

standard conditionally constant losses for power lines, power transformers and other power grid facilities;

standard losses in electrical energy measuring instruments.

When establishing standards, the technical condition of power lines and other power grid facilities may also be taken into account.
