Article 13. Ensuring accounting of used energy resources and the use of metering devices for used energy resources when making payments for energy resources
1. Produced, transmitted, consumed energy resources are subject to mandatory accounting using metering devices for energy resources used. The requirements of this article regarding the organization of accounting of energy resources used apply to facilities connected to electrical networks of centralized power supply, and (or) centralized heat supply systems, and (or) centralized water supply systems, and (or) centralized gas supply systems, and (or) other systems of centralized supply of energy resources. If other requirements for the installation sites of metering devices for used energy resources are not established by this Federal Law, other federal laws, other regulatory legal acts of the Russian Federation, compliance with the requirements of this article regarding the organization of metering of used energy resources in relation to facilities connected to centralized supply systems of the relevant energy resource, must ensure accounting of the energy resources used at the points of connection of the specified objects to such systems or in relation to objects used for the transfer of energy resources, at the points of connection of adjacent objects used for the transfer of energy resources and owned by right of ownership or other basis provided for by the legislation of the Russian Federation to different persons. Requirements for the characteristics of metering devices for energy resources used are determined in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation. The requirements of this article regarding the organization of accounting of energy resources used do not apply to dilapidated, emergency facilities, facilities subject to demolition or major repairs before January 1, 2013, as well as facilities whose maximum volume of natural gas consumption is less than two cubic meters per hour ( regarding the organization of accounting of natural gas used).
2. Payments for energy resources must be made on the basis of data on the quantitative value of energy resources produced, transmitted, consumed, determined using metering devices for energy resources used. Metering devices installed in accordance with the requirements of the legislation of the Russian Federation must be put into operation no later than the month following the date of their installation, and their use must begin when making payments for energy resources no later than the first day of the month following the month of commissioning of these metering devices into operation. Payments for energy resources can be carried out without taking into account data obtained using installed and commissioned metering devices for energy resources used, under a supply agreement, a purchase and sale agreement for energy resources, which includes the terms of an energy service agreement (contract). Before installing metering devices for used energy resources, as well as in the event of failure, loss or expiration of the service life of metering devices for used energy resources, payments for energy resources must be carried out using calculation methods for determining the amount of energy resources established in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation.

Latest changes to the Federal Law on energy saving
Over time, legislative acts require revision. A revision of the document is necessary to ensure that it is relevant at this time. Authorized persons, after reviewing the next bill, make changes, additions and amendments to it. Either one specific article of the law or the entire document may be subject to adjustment. Federal Law No. 261 on energy saving was last amended on July 3, 2016.
261 Federal Law 13 article
It talks about the procedure for ensuring the accounting of energy resources and the use of metering devices. By law, produced and consumed resources must be accounted for. Payments for consumed resources are calculated based on quantitative data. Has undergone changes Part 12 Article 13 261 Federal Law. For organizations, the deadline for installing specialized metering devices has changed:
- Previously, the period was specified until January 1, 2016;
- after changes are made, the deadline is January 1, 2019.
P 9 Article 13 261 Federal Law on energy saving
Clause 9 indicates that organizations that provide gas, water, thermal energy, electricity for use through engineering and technical support networks from July 1, 2010 are required to install and replace metering devices for the resources they provide. These organizations do not have the right to refuse citizens who apply with a request to install or replace a meter.
Article 11 261 Federal Law
It talks about ensuring the energy efficiency of buildings and homes. By law, energy efficiency requirements include:
- coefficient indicating the volume of resource consumption;
- requirements for the properties of buildings and their individual parts - devices and technologies;
- conditions included in the documentation for the construction of a building. The conditions allow you to protect yourself from the irrational use of energy resources during the construction of the building and during its operation.
In 2016, in the 11th century. No changes have been made to this law.
Article 16 261 Federal Law
Contains provisions on mandatory energy audits. According to the law, the following are subject to mandatory inspection:
- government authorities;
- institutions of state and municipal education;
- enterprises operating in regulated areas of activity;
- institutions involved in the transportation or production of water, gas, electricity, oil, coal, etc.;
- institutions whose total costs for the consumption of gas, diesel, fuel oil or other fuel exceed the volume of corresponding energy resources in value terms (value terms are established by the Government);
- institutions carrying out activities in the field of energy saving and increasing energy efficiency, financed from the budget.
Thanks to this law, many organizations began to use energy resources more rationally.
Saving natural resources in the Russian Federation
There is a lot of talk about the rapid depletion of natural resources. Energy saving is one of the opportunities to extend the use of natural energy resources, which are so necessary for humans for economic activity. Therefore, special programs for the conservation of energy resources are now being implemented everywhere in the world. “On energy saving and increasing energy efficiency” dated November 23, 2009 also serves this purpose. The main objective of this law is to create conditions for ensuring savings in the energy resources of the Russian Federation. Not only the state, but also each individual apartment owner is subject to certain legislative norms that indicate that the best way to learn to save is to install water, heat, electricity, and natural gas meters in our apartments. Let us describe some aspects of legislative acts that relate to the protection of natural resources.
Timing for installing meters
If earlier the installation of heat and water meters was an absolutely personal and voluntary matter, now this issue has been taken under state control. According to paragraph 6 of Article 11 Federal Law 261 Now it is not even allowed to put into operation buildings that were built, reconstructed, or subjected to major repairs, without equipping them with energy metering devices. Starting from 2012, apartment buildings put into operation must be equipped with individual heat metering devices in each apartment, if technically possible. Clause 5 of Article 13 indicates that since 2012, homeowners' associations, management companies, and owners of apartment buildings must be equipped with collective and individual means of accounting for energy resources. The period during which water meters and other individual metering devices must be installed has changed several times. The latest version of the law sets a deadline of July 1, 2013. Should we be afraid of sanctions for violating this norm?
Fines for not having a meter
For now, the sanctions will only affect management companies and homeowners associations. Their turn has already come to answer for uninstalled meters since July of this year. And these are considerable amounts. The inaction of an official will cost him 5-10 thousand rubles, and similar sanctions for legal entities will cost 20-30 thousand rubles.
The responsibility of individual consumers will begin in 2015. Then, fines will be applied to citizens who do not install meters. You shouldn't risk your money by breaking the law. Then you will also have to pay legal costs, which are inevitable when you are sued for violating the law. The price of a water meter starts from 300 rubles. This is not such a high cost as to delay installation. Moreover, in the very first months the savings will more than justify the costs.
