DECLARATION
Central Energy Management
of 20 October 1964
on the supply of electricity to the population
The central energy management in agreement with the participating central authorities and authorities shall, pursuant to Article 18 (1) of Act No. 79 / 1957 Coll., on Production, Divorce, and Electricity Consumption (Electricity Act):
Preliminary provisions
This decree sets out the conditions under which an energy undertaking (the supplier) supplies electricity from public electricity distribution facilities to the population and non-socialist organisations (the customers).
Application for sampling
(1) A collector intending to take electricity from a public electricity distribution facility shall submit an application to the supplier; the form of this application shall be requested by the supplier or by the organisation authorised to carry out the installation of the demand facilities.
(2) The application must be duly and legibly completed and signed by the buyer and the owner of the property. If at least one eligible customer receives electricity in the house, there is no need to establish and connect a demand facility for another customer with the consent of the owner of the property.
(3) The sampling application shall be accompanied by a confirmation by the approved organisation of the technical completion of the assembly of the collection electrical equipment. *)
(1) The supplier is not obliged to examine or verify the authenticity of the signature on the application. If the application has been signed by an unauthorised person on behalf of the customer, the electricity collected shall be paid by the person indicated on the application as a customer, unless it proves that the electricity has been withdrawn by someone else.
(2) The supplier may at any time check with the customer the accuracy of the information contained in the application. The insufficiently or incorrectly completed application shall be returned to the customer to complete the notification of the defect.
(3) At the same time as the application, the buyer shall submit a certificate of payment of the final bill for electricity collection to the service organisation in his previous residence for the period immediately preceding the date of the application. In the event that he was not a consumer of electricity in the previous residence, he shall state that fact in the application.
(1) The contract for the supply of electricity is a confirmation of the application by the supplier.
(2) The supplier shall confirm the application to the customer, as a general rule, on surrender; However, it may reserve a reasonable period of time for confirmation to examine the operational supply options.
(3) The supplier shall carry out the supply of electricity to customers under the contract within the limits of his operational possibilities as soon as possible and at the latest within 14 days.
(4) Connecting particularly voltage-sensitive or frequency-sensitive appliances requires a special arrangement.
(1) The supplier supplies electricity at prices at uniform universal rates applicable to retail electricity sales. * *)
(2) The collector shall propose in the application the rate according to the purpose for which it intends to collect electricity and the relevant provisions on uniform universal retail tariffs.
(3) If the conditions for granting the requested rate are not met, the supplier shall fix the appropriate rate at the latest when the contract is concluded.
(1) Any change in the facts relevant to the award of the tariff which arose from the information initially provided by the customer in the application must be notified immediately to the supplier on the new application. Confirmation of the organisation authorised to carry out the assembly of the collection electrical equipment shall be required on the application only in the cases referred to in Section 8 of this Order. On the basis of this new application, the supplier shall fix the rate with effect from the nearest deduction, but no later than 30 days after the date of receipt of the application.
(2) If the customer fails to comply with this obligation, the supplier shall be entitled to charge the difference resulting from the rate applied and the rate corresponding to the rules for the entire period of incorrect use.
Where, pursuant to the regulations on uniform universal tariffs for the sale of electricity in small quantities, a buyer may at any time request a different rate from the current rate and the supplier shall grant it a new rate with effect from the nearest deduction, but no later than 30 days after the date of receipt of the application; the customer is not entitled to a recalculation of electricity at a new rate.
(1) The collector is obliged to submit a new application if the electrical equipment is extended or changed to such an extent that the connection value initially applied for to 10 kW is increased by more than 1 kW or more than 10 kW by more than 10%. The connection value means the sum of the power consumption of all electrical appliances, according to their label or directly in watts (W) or kilowatts (kW).
(2) The collector shall be liable for any damage incurred by the supplier by withholding any changes which he has been obliged to make pursuant to paragraph 1.
(1) If the new customer takes over the rooms where the demand facility is already connected to the public electricity distribution facility, he shall submit an application for electricity within 8 days, indicating the last state of the measuring instruments.
(2) The application need not be accompanied by a confirmation from the organisation authorised to carry out the assembly of the demand electrical equipment if it is established by the supplier of the demand electrical equipment complies with the regulations and if there are no significant changes in the number and power of the appliances.
(3) If a new customer omits to submit an application within 8 days, the supplier shall be responsible for the full electricity consumption from the date of the last deduction made to the previous customer.
(4) If the customer changes the name (e.g. by marriage or by official change of name) or the name, he shall notify the supplier in writing as soon as possible.
Delivery, collection and measurement
(1) The withdrawal of electricity from a public electricity distribution facility takes place in the agreed extent. The electricity collection from the public electricity distribution facility is measured and charged by the supplier according to the data of the own measuring, auxiliary and control equipment that the customer places, joins and maintains for payment specified by special regulations. *) The maintenance of the measuring device shall include the care of the official verification of the accuracy of the measurement.
(2) The collector is obliged to protect the measuring, auxiliary and control equipment of the supplier placed in the rooms used by him from damage; where such facilities are located in the common premises of the property, the owner of the property shall have this obligation.
(3) The collector shall monitor the correct operation of the meter and report immediately to the supplier, or, where appropriate, to the relevant connection organisation (post office) or the postal carrier carrying out direct debit, any defects and unusual measurement, as well as any obvious disturbance in the home or residential electrical equipment.
(4) The collector may, for his own use (e.g. for part of the apartment in the lodgers), have his own secondary electric meters connected to the main electric meter of the supplier. The supplier does not deduct the state of these electrometers, nor charge, according to them, nor maintain them; Therefore, they must be marked significantly by the customer (e.g. in red). The supplier's consent is not required to install such secondary electrometers.
(1) If the customer has doubts as to the accuracy of the measuring equipment data, he may request a check by the supplier in writing.
(2) The supplier shall test the measuring equipment, remove the detected defects within 30 days of the customer's notification and, if the devices are defective, replace them with the correct ones. The examination shall be carried out in accordance with the relevant national standards. * *)
(3) The request for checking the data of the measuring equipment shall not exempt customers from the obligation to pay an advance payment or final bill for the electricity collected within the specified time limit.
(4) If it is found, when checking, that the reading of the electrometer tested does not deviate more than the actual value permitted by the state standard, the customer shall pay the cost of checking and exchanging the electrometer.
(5) If it is found, when checking the electrometer (auxiliary and control device), that it indicates a higher value that deviates from the actual value more than the state standard (e.g. for electrical meter defects, for the improperly used electrical meter constant or measuring transformer or for their defective connection), the supplier shall pay the customer an amount corresponding to the error in the measuring device data, from the date on which the defect was proven to have occurred, but not later than the last deduction.
(6) If it is found, when checking the electrometer (auxiliary and control devices), that it indicates a lower value which deviates from the actual value more than permitted by the state standard, the customer shall pay the supplier an amount corresponding to the error in the measurement equipment data, from the date on which the defect was demonstrated, but not more than the last deduction.
(7) The costs of checking, correcting and replacing measuring, auxiliary and control equipment shall be borne by the supplier in the cases referred to in paragraphs 5 and 6.
(8) If it is not possible to accurately determine the electricity consumption over the period of failure of the measuring equipment, it shall be calculated according to the sampling in approximately the same period of last year. If there is a new sampling or a change in the sampling ratios, the supplier may charge this sampling according to the sampling measured in the next reading period or by other appropriate means.
Unauthorised collection
In particular, it shall be deemed to be an unauthorised supply of electricity if the buyer:
(a) shall withdraw the electricity without the consent of the supplier, for testing purposes only, and the electricity consumption shall not be measured by the supplier's electrometer;
(b) carry out such measures as to ensure that the electrometer does not detect or misrecord the collection at all or uses such equipment knowingly;
(c) harm either himself or the persons for whom he is responsible, the electrometer, the auxiliaries or the control device, or the brand or company seals, or if he does not report to the supplier an accidental breach within three days of its detection;
(d) it shall damage the electrometer itself or the persons for whom it is responsible and, in its test, it shall be found to indicate a lower value which deviates from the actual value more than the national standard allows.
(1) The quantity of electricity unduly collected for non-measured or incorrectly measured sampling shall be determined by considering the label load on all electrical appliances with unmeasured or incorrectly measured sampling; the load is multiplied by the following time of use, unless a longer period has been established:
| a) u topidel všech druhů (od září do konce dubna) a u elektrických akumulačních ohřívačů vody (celoročně) | 8 hodin denně, |
| b) u světelných spotřebičů a spotřebičů sdělovací techniky (radio, televize) | 4 hodiny denně, |
| c) u všech ostatních spotřebičů, např. u topných spotřebičů pro vaření a pečení, u chladícího zařízení, elektrických motorů a domácích vodárniček | 2 hodiny denně. |
The daily electricity consumption thus determined shall be multiplied by the number of unauthorised days. If it is not possible to determine the whole period of unauthorised collection, the whole period of deduction shall be charged.
(2) The calculation of incorrectly measured samples shall be carried out by charging all kWh taken at the rate to be used correctly.
(3) In the case of samples not measured at all, all kWh collected (whether light or propulsion, etc.) shall be charged at the light rate.
(4) If the customer cannot demonstrate the number and type of electrical appliances, the information provided in the application shall be set as the basis for calculating the refund.
(5) The amounts calculated in accordance with paragraphs 2 to 4 shall be added to the costs associated with the detection of unauthorised collection, but not less than 20 CZK.
(6) The total amount of the bill of discharge for the undue collection shall be reduced by the amounts paid by the customer for the period of undue collection.
Restrictions, interruption and cessation of supply
The supplier may restrict, interrupt or stop the supply of electricity from a public electricity distribution facility if:
(a) this is necessary for reasons of operation (maintenance and revision work, fault repair, regulatory action, shutdown due to a lack of system performance or natural intervention, etc.) or when the voltage or type of electricity is changed;
(b) the customer's demand facility does not comply with the regulations to the extent that it may endanger the safety of life or property, cause fire, cause a malfunction or exceptional decrease or voltage fluctuations in other customers;
(c) the customer prevents the authorized workers of the supplier from accessing the electrometer and the electric demand facilities for their inspection;
(d) the customer fails to comply with an order to remove defects in the electrical sampling device or to remove devices that interfere with radio, television reception or operation of other devices;
(e) the customer has been found to be having an unauthorised purchase;
(f) the buyer does not pay the advance payment or final bill for the electricity collected.
(1) The interrupted or stopped supply of electricity shall be restored by the supplier after the removal of all defects for which the supply has been interrupted or after payment of any arrears and after payment of the costs associated with the renewal of the supply.
(2) The supplier is not liable for damage caused by the restriction, interruption or cessation of the supply of electricity (§ 14).
However, the supplier shall:
(a) notify customers individually or in a mass manner at the usual place, at least 24 hours in advance, of the interruption of the supply of electricity for the execution of planned maintenance and revision works;
(b) proceed with the interruption of the supply of electricity for lack of power according to the regulatory plan.
Withdrawal
(1) If the customer intends to terminate the electricity collection at the current location, he shall notify the supplier at least 8 days in advance and allow his staff to complete the final deduction or remove the electrometer.
(2) If the customer fails to notify the end of the purchase, he shall be obliged to pay the electricity collected until the application has been filed by the new customer or until the end of delivery.
Settlement and payment of supplies
(1) The supplier shall charge the electricity supplied according to the deduction for a period of six months.
(2) Electricity accounting shall not be subject to rules on invoicing and payment of supplies of a non-investment nature. *)
(1) The electricity withdrawn is paid by the customer to the organization of the connections responsible for carrying out the concentrated collection of recurrent payments to the population. Payments shall be made in the form of monthly advances and on the basis of a deduction of the electrometer.
(2) The amount of advances shall be determined by the supplier on the basis of the average of the six-month sample for the same period of the preceding year; for new purchases according to the number and size of electrical appliances applied for and the expected collection.
(1) If the customer does not pay an advance payment or a balance payment on the six-month bill of electricity collected even after a written reminder, the supplier may suspend the supply of electricity.
(2) If the customer submits to the supplier's authorised worker who is to make the disconnection, proof that the advance or underpayment for the six-month bill of electricity collected has been paid, the supplier's worker shall identify the date and manner of payment and shall refrain from any interruption of supply.
(3) If the purchaser has not paid the electricity collected or has paid it late, he shall be obliged to pay compensation for the visit of the supplier's worker in the cases referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2. * *)
