N 861

Rules of non-discriminatory access 861, taking into account changes adopted in last years, regulate the activities of economic entities in the electricity market. Our article provides a brief overview of these rules and innovations in them.

Non-discriminatory access is...

According to paragraph 8 of Art. 4 of the Law “On the Protection of Competition” dated July 26, 2006 No. 135-FZ, discriminatory conditions are those conditions for entry into the market or the activities of business entities in the market under which they (the entities) are in unequal conditions compared to other similar entities.

Accordingly, non-discriminatory access is the absence of such injustice, when everyone can enter and work in the market on equal terms.

Clause 1 Art. 10 of Law No. 135-FZ introduced a ban on monopolists abusing their dominant position in the market. It is impossible to prohibit natural monopolies by analogy with artificial ones, but it is possible to limit the monopolist’s rights by administrative means in order to equalize them with other market participants - the monopolist’s counterparties.

In paragraph 3 of Art. 10 of Law No. 135-FZ makes reference to the rules of non-discriminatory access to commodity markets, where natural monopolies operate, for example, such as:

• electricity transmission;
• placement of telecommunication networks;
• transportation of oil, petroleum products, gas;
• railway transport, etc.

To implement it, rules for non-discriminatory access to services in the electricity sector (hereinafter referred to as the rules) were developed and approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of December 27, 2004 No. 861.

What do non-discriminatory access rules govern?

The rules affect the services:

• electricity transmission;
• operational dispatch control in the electric power industry;
• administrator of the wholesale market trading system;
• joining networks.

The Rules define the general principles and procedure for ensuring non-discriminatory access to the listed services and their provision. That is, they regulate the relations between the guaranteeing supplier, the network organization and electricity consumers.

With regard to consumers, the rules establish equal access to services in the electricity sector, regardless of their (consumers’) organizational and legal form and legal relationship with the person providing such services.

In relation to the supplier (system operator, administrator), an obligation has been introduced to provide complete information about the services provided, as well as to perform services for a circle of persons specified by law.

In addition, the rules regulate some technical issues when connecting (connecting) energy receiving devices of consumers to electrical networks.

Rule structure

The rules of non-discriminatory access for each type of service in the electricity sector are drawn up in the form of separate documents.

The 1st document is the rules for non-discriminatory access to electric energy transmission services and the provision of these services. They regulated the order:

• concluding agreements between the supplier and the consumer, network organizations;
• setting tariffs;
• determination of losses in electrical networks, etc.

2nd document - rules for non-discriminatory access to services for operational dispatch control in the electric power industry and the provision of these services. The order is detailed here:

• writing an application by the consumer;
• consideration of the application by the operator and making a decision on it;
• conclusion of the contract and execution of the service.

The 3rd document concerns the activities of the administrator of the wholesale market trading system. It lists the information that the applicant must indicate when submitting an application, the procedure for considering the application and the grounds for the administrator’s refusal to provide the service.

Finally, the latest rules focus on connecting to electrical networks. They establish the obligation of a network organization to connect the networks of any applicant to its networks (if technically possible), and also provide for the procedure for concluding an agreement and delimit the area of ​​responsibility for electrical networks.

The rules have 13 active annexes, including:

• sample application of an individual and legal entity for connection to 1 source of power supply;
• standard contract for connection to electrical networks;
• act on compliance with technical conditions, etc.
