261 Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation on energy saving. Law on Energy Saving in the new edition

Saving natural resources in the Russian Federation

Much has been said about the rapid depletion of natural resources. Energy conservation is one of the ways to extend the use of natural energy resources, which are so necessary for a person to economic activity. Therefore, special programs for the conservation of energy resources are now being introduced everywhere in the world. Serves this and "On energy saving and on increasing energy efficiency» dated November 23, 2009. The main objective of this law is to create conditions for ensuring energy savings Russian Federation. Not only the state, but also each individual apartment owner is affected by certain norms of legislation that indicate that The best way learn how to save money - install water, heat, electricity, natural gas meters in our apartments. Let us describe some aspects of legislative acts that relate to the protection of natural resources.

Terms of installation of meters

If earlier the installation of heat and water meters was an absolutely personal and voluntary matter, now this issue has been taken under control by the state. According to paragraph 6 of article 11 FZ 261 now it is not even allowed to put into operation buildings that have been built, reconstructed, subjected to major repairs, without equipping them with energy metering devices. Starting from 2012, apartment buildings put into operation must be equipped with by individual means thermal metering in each apartment if available technical feasibility. Clause 5 of article 13 indicates the mandatory equipment since 2012 of the HOA, management companies, owners apartment buildings means of accounting for energy resources collective and individual. The period during which water meters and other individual metering devices must be installed has changed several times. In the latest version of the law, the deadline is until 01.07.2013. Should we be afraid of sanctions for violating this rule?

Penalties for not having a meter

So far, the sanctions have only affected management companies and homeowners associations. Their turn has already come to be responsible for uninstalled meters since July of this year. And these are considerable sums. The inaction of an official will cost him 5-10 thousand rubles, and similar sanctions for legal entities - 20-30 thousand rubles.

The responsibility of individual consumers will come from 2015. Then fines will be applied to citizens who have not installed meters. Don'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 to delay installation. Moreover, in the very first months, the savings will more than justify the costs.

The adoption of amendments to the fundamental document for the industry - Federal Law No. 261-FZ "On Energy Saving and Increasing Energy Efficiency ..." was much discussed and long expected, often with apprehension.

Finally, the relevant Federal Law, which introduces these changes, No. 399-FZ of December 28, 2013, was signed and published. In general, it introduces a certain logic into the energy efficiency policy pursued at the federal level and reflects the intentions to correct it, repeatedly expressed in the fall of 2013 by representatives of the Russian Ministry of Energy. On the other hand, many sound proposals made by the professional community and favorably received by the authorized body were not reflected in it.

There is more order. For example, the object of an energy inspection can now be not only products, a technological process, a legal entity or an individual entrepreneur, but also buildings, structures, structures, energy-consuming equipment, electric power facilities, sources of thermal energy, heat networks, district heating systems, centralized cold water supply systems and (or) water disposal, other objects of the communal infrastructure system.

In general, the intellectual component of energy auditors' activity is increasing. So, now the obligatory result of an energy audit is not only an energy passport, but, above all, an energy audit report, the requirements for which will be developed by the Russian Ministry of Energy. The list of measures to be developed by an energy auditor based on the results of an energy audit is no longer limited to typical and publicly available measures. In addition, the need to make their cost estimate is provided. Instead of the previously existing threshold for getting an object into the list for whom an energy inspection is mandatory (annual costs for fuel and energy resources in the amount of 10 million rubles), now the value of the volume of fuel and energy consumption specially approved by the authorized body will now apply. In addition, for all categories of facilities for which mandatory energy inspections are provided, an additional gradation is now introduced - if, according to the results of the year preceding the year of the energy inspection, the total costs of the facility for fuel and energy resources do not exceed the amount established by the authorized body of the Government, it has the right not to conduct energy audit, but be limited to filing with the federal agency executive power information about energy saving and energy efficiency improvement.

The self-regulatory organization now receives from the energy auditor both an energy passport and an energy inspection report, and checks for compliance with the requirements for conducting an energy inspection, its results, as well as for compliance with the standards and rules of SROs within the statutory period of 30 days. The financial responsibility of self-regulatory organizations is increasing: from the moment when the SRO puts a mark on the energy passport that the results of the energy survey meet all the established requirements, including the standards and rules of the SRO itself, the energy auditor and the self-regulatory organization are jointly and severally liable to the customer of the energy survey for possible losses caused as a result of his shortcomings.

At the same time, the value compensation fund Starting from October 2014, the SRO should increase to at least 2 million rubles (as of 01.01. 2,079,001.45 rubles). The requirements for the openness of self-regulatory organizations and the public placement of information about their activities have also been added.
