The calculation of electricity prices for offending consumers and unauthorized users has been officially determined based on the free rates of the energy exchange. This action has been taken to combat widespread violations in energy consumption and to prevent the waste of subsidy resources.
Details of the Notification and the Importance of Consumption Management
According to a notification issued by the electricity distribution company, the main goal of these changes is to better manage energy consumption and reduce energy imbalance in the country. Roya Ghazalbash, the Deputy of Sales and Customer Services at the Zanjan Province Electricity Distribution Company, has provided explanations about this notification and its importance. She pointed out that unauthorized cryptocurrency mining with mining devices, direct use of the network before metering equipment, illegal resale of electricity, and tampering with meters are considered violations.
Changing the usage of connections allocated to cultural and educational centers for other purposes will also be subject to free tariffs. These actions are particularly important in a situation where the country is facing serious challenges in energy supply.
How Offenders' Bills are Calculated and Its Consequences
The method of calculating bills for offending consumers has changed, and the consumption period costs for this category of consumers will be calculated based on the average price of the free electricity table in the energy exchange. This change will directly affect the costs for unauthorized consumers, and subsequently, offenders will be required to pay for damages incurred to the distribution network.
This decision is considered a serious step towards reducing violations and optimizing energy consumption. Given the current energy situation in the country, managing consumption and preventing violations can help preserve resources and ensure sustainable energy supply. In this regard, there is a need for more cooperation and attention from all consumers to prevent resource waste and problems arising from energy imbalance.
