Law
of 19 December 1957
on electricity production, distribution and consumption (electricity law).
The National Assembly of the Czechoslovak Republic decided on the following Act:
Preliminary provisions
The development of the production and distribution of electricity and its use is one of the essential preconditions for achieving a higher technical level of production and thus the development of the entire national economy and the growth of the material and cultural level of the population. The planned development of the national economy requires ensuring that the development of an energy base is consistently well ahead of the development of other sectors of the national economy. In order to achieve these objectives and to ensure sufficient energy, in particular electricity, to meet the needs of the national economy, the construction of energy works should be speeded up, the cost-effective use and care of the smooth and high-quality supply of electricity and its economic consumption.
Energy works
(1) Energy components for the production or distribution of electricity (hereinafter referred to as "energy works") are as follows:
(a) electricity plants;
(b) electricity distribution facilities (§ 3), or parts thereof, where they serve or are intended to supply electricity to more than one customer ("electricity distribution facilities"); and
(c) electrical connections (§ 4)
with accessories.
(2) The following shall not be regarded as energy works under the preceding paragraph:
(a) small installations for the production of electricity which are of negligible economic importance to the supply of a wider range of consumers by electricity due to their low performance;
(b) electrical equipment which is connected to the electrical connection and serves or is intended to be used for the collection of electricity (hereinafter referred to as the "demand facilities"),
(c) low-current electrical equipment; and
(d) telecommunications equipment of any voltage.
Electricity distribution facilities
Electricity distribution equipment means a device for the transmission, conversion and distribution of electricity, such as stations (transformers, switching stations and converters) and electrical lines.
Electrical connections
The electrical connection means an electrical line which diverts from a public distribution facility towards the customer and serves or is intended to connect the demand facility.
Establishment and operation of energy works and certain other electricity distribution facilities
Establishment and operation of energy works by energy undertakings
Energy works shall be set up and operated, unless otherwise provided by this Act, by the Ministry of Energy (hereinafter referred to as "energy undertakings').
Establishment and operation of energy works by other organisations
(1) Energy works which are not in the management of energy undertakings (hereinafter referred to as "plant energy works") on the date on which this Act takes effect shall continue to be operated by existing operators, unless the Ministry of Energy provides otherwise in agreement with the competent central authority or authority and the provisions of Paragraph 35 (1) of this Law apply to such works.
(2) Organisations other than energy undertakings may reestablish or significantly expand energy works and then operate them only with the consent of the Ministry of Energy or with the authority of the Ministry of Energy, provided that there are serious reasons for doing so, in particular if the more cost-effective construction of the energy works, more efficient generation or distribution of electricity, or if it is not otherwise possible to ensure the supply of electricity, after steam, for the purpose of producing the operator. The granting of consent may be subject to certain conditions, in particular to ensure the supply of electricity to public electricity distribution facilities.
(3) The Ministry of Energy may provide that certain works, in particular works of minor economic importance, need not be authorised under the preceding paragraph.
(4) The consent referred to in paragraph 2 shall not replace the discussion and authorisation of the construction or the authorisation to put it into permanent operation (use) under specific regulations.
(5) The Government will determine in which cases and under which conditions an energy undertaking does not establish electricity connections or public electricity distribution facilities.
Establishment and operation of electricity distribution facilities
(1) Electricity distribution facilities which serve or are intended to meet the consumer's own operational needs, with the exception of electrical connections ("non-public electricity distribution facilities") are not energy components under this Act and do not require the establishment or operation of consent pursuant to Article 6 (2). However, outside the territory of the operator's building (property), they may be established or operated after prior consultation with the energy undertaking in whose distribution area the building (property) is located and only if there are no serious reasons not to prevent it, in particular if the establishment or operation of such facilities is not contrary to the planned and economical construction of energy works or to their economic and efficient use.
(2) The Ministry of Energy may determine in which cases and under which conditions no consultation with an energy undertaking is necessary for the establishment or operation of the installations referred to in the preceding paragraph.
Public electrical lighting equipment
The establishment and operation of facilities serving or intended to illuminate public spaces (public lighting facilities) shall be carried out by the executive bodies of the national committees. Energy undertakings shall not be investors of such installations nor shall they bear their construction, operation and maintenance costs.
Management of electricity production, distribution and consumption
In order to ensure a balance between consumption and electricity production, the Ministry of Energy and the organisation of the energy sector determines the manner and extent of use of all energy works (Section 2 (1)) and their performance and directs electricity consumption. In particular, it shall ensure that, within the framework of the national plan for the development of the national economy, the continuous supply of the national economy and the population of electricity of the specified quality is ensured and that the most economical generation of electricity and its efficient and efficient use is achieved, taking into account the energy situation and the best use of individual energy works and natural energy sources.
Energy Dispatch
(1) In carrying out the tasks referred to in Section 9, the Ministry of Energy and Organisation shall direct the operation of energy works in the management of energy undertakings and plant energy works, following the collection of distribution facilities (stations) involved in the common energy system.
(2) The Ministry of Energy and the organisation entrusted with it are entitled to order the operators of works and equipment referred to in the preceding paragraph to increase, reduce, temporarily suspend or restart the production of electricity and determine the way in which it is to be divorced, in accordance with the rules of control. for competitive energy works, it shall also determine the scope and timing of the supply of electricity to the common energy system. In implementing these measures, they shall take into account the technological needs and the purpose of the operator's production in order to achieve an efficient and economical use of the plant energy works with a national perspective.
(3) The details of the dispatching procedure are laid down by the Ministry of Energy in an agreement with the central authorities involved and the dispatching authorities, which are binding on all energy works operators.
(1) Operators of energy works, electricity demand facilities connected to them, as well as other non-public electricity distribution facilities, are required to maintain and operate these works and installations in a manner and in a state which is consistent with technical and economic efficiency and to take measures in agreement with the energy undertaking to allow the full use of those facilities.
(2) The operators of energy works and equipment referred to in the preceding paragraph are required to comply with the operating rules issued by the Ministry of Energy in agreement with the central authorities and authorities involved.

Common provisions
Authorisation for foreign real estate
(1) Energy undertakings are authorised to:
(a) to build and operate on foreign real estate to the extent resulting from the authorised construction of electricity lines, as well as small stations up to an area of 30 m2, with accessories (hereinafter referred to as "management"), in particular to establish support points on real estate, to switch the real estate through the wire and to place the management in them;
(b) enter and enter in the construction, operation, repair, modification or removal of the lines on the arrival, transit and management of the foreign property directly concerned;
(c) to remove and purge tree lines (Sections 23 and 24).
(2) Energy undertakings shall not be obliged to provide compensation for the exercise of the authorisation referred to in the preceding paragraph. However, if the owner or user of a real estate that is not in state socialist ownership is substantially restricted by the establishment of management in the use of the real estate, he may request the authority which is competent under the regulations on the authorisation of buildings to permit the construction of an energy works (hereinafter referred to as the "authorising authority ') to grant him adequate one-off compensation; the application must be lodged under a loss of entitlement within three months of the date on which the work was put into permanent operation (use).
(3) The authorisations referred to in paragraph 1 shall be subject to an authorisation for the construction of the management and shall cease to exist by cancellation of the management. If the management has not set up an energy undertaking, the authorisation referred to in paragraph 1 shall also be granted to another organisation of the State Socialist sector, which has been authorised to build the management (§ 32 (1)). The authorisations referred to in paragraph 1 shall also acquire the organisation of the State Socialist sector by acquiring management.
(4) Where the scope or content of the authorisation referred to in paragraph 1 is contested, it shall be defined by the authorising authority.
(5) The obligation to suffer the exercise of the authorisation referred to in paragraph 1 is bound by the property concerned as a liability in kind.
(1) Prior to the construction of the management, the owners (users) of the land shall, within the period specified in the permit to construct the energy works, clean up, remove and dispose of the waste from the energy undertaking by trees which could endanger the management.
(2) If this period is in vain, the energy undertaking shall be entitled to make a shutdown after discharging the trees with its own cargo at the risk of the owner or user of the land.
(1) In the course of the operation of the management, the power undertaking shall purge the tree on its load to the extent strictly necessary for the smooth and safe operation of the management, unless another agreement is reached with the owner or user of the land.
(2) The owners and users of land, at the request of and on behalf of the energy undertaking, are obliged, in the operation of the management, to cut and remove trees that could endanger the management within a reasonable period of time. The provisions of Paragraph 23 (2) shall apply mutatis mutandis if this period goes in vain. The cutting of trees in which the management or its operation could be threatened may only be carried out in agreement with and under the supervision of the person appointed by the energy undertaking.
(3) If there is a risk of default, the energy undertaking itself is entitled to disallow trees to the extent necessary for the smooth and safe operation of the management, but is obliged to inform the owner (s) of the land without delay.
In the exercise of an authorisation under § § 22 to 24, energy undertakings and persons authorised by them are required to save property as much as possible as well as the rights of the owner or user.
(1) The material burdens provided for in § 22 also affect national property; they are not entered in land books and are not subject to statute of limitations and maintenance.
(2) Where a material burden is felt by changing the circumstances in which it was created, in a gross disproportion to the advantage of an energy undertaking, it may be claimed that the energy undertaking should change or translate the management. If no agreement is reached, it shall decide on the amendment (transfer) and reimbursement of the costs associated with it by the Executive Authority of the Regional National Committee.
Expropriation
(1) If, for the purposes laid down by this Law, the authorisation provided for in the previous provisions is not sufficient, the property and rights may be expropriated if the agreement is not reached.
(2) For the scope of the expropriation, for the expropriation procedure and for the compensation for expropriation, for the entry into and use of the expropriated property before the expropriation procedure is initiated, mutatis mutandis, the provisions on territorial planning and the construction of municipalities shall apply, unless otherwise specified.
(1) The actual damage caused to the property or its accessories in the construction, operation, repair, modification or removal of the line shall be reimbursed to the damaged owner or user of the property.
(2) If there is no agreement on compensation for damage, the management authority of the district national committee in whose territory the damage has occurred shall decide on the compensation at the request of the injured party within 30 days of the date on which the damage was determined, but no later than 6 months from the date of the damage; if the application is not lodged within those time limits, the entitlement shall cease.
Contact with communication, water, water and equipment
(1) In contact with the energy works with communications, lines of all species, waters, water and equipment, the continuity and safety of operation of both energy works and communication, management, water, water works and equipment, as well as the possibility of proper maintenance, shall be ensured.

Protection zones
(1) Energy works are protected by protection zones. They shall prohibit or restrict, to the extent provided for in the implementing rules, the construction, equipment, surface treatment and the cultivation of energy works and their smooth and safe operation. In the same way, certain activities in or near the protection zones may be prohibited or restricted.
(2) Obligations and restrictions in or near the protection zones arise from an authorisation to construct an energy works; cease by cancelling the work.
(3) Where the scope of the protection zones or the degree of obligations and restrictions are questionable, they shall be defined by the authorising authority.
When designing and constructing energy works, care must be taken to ensure that the harmful effects on agricultural and forestry economies and the natural environment are eliminated as far as possible, in order to investigate the protected parts of nature, vegetation needed for health protection and cultural monuments.
(1) Paragraph 22 to 28 applies mutatis mutandis to the organisation of the State Socialist sector other than energy undertakings where they establish or operate on foreign real estate lines for their own public electrical lighting operations or facilities.
(2) Paragraph 29 to 31 also applies to installations for the non-public distribution of electricity which establish or operate other organisation of the state socialist sector than energy undertakings outside the perimeter of their own object (own real estate).
Portable electricity distribution equipment
(1) The provisions of Sections 17, 20, 21 and 28 apply mutatis mutandis to portable electricity distribution facilities.
(2) The management authority of the District National Committee will decide on the conditions under which a portable installation may come into contact with foreign real estate.
