The energy company pays for the replacement of electricity meters in apartments and private houses

The energy company pays for the mandatory replacement of electricity meters in apartments and private houses. State Duma deputy Nikita Chaplin reminded Russians of this in a conversation with RT.

“In an apartment building, the device is purchased and installed by the supplier of last resort, that is, the energy sales company servicing the building. In a private home, this is done by the organization that maintains the electrical networks,” Chaplin emphasized.

He recalled that in 2026, up to six months will be given to replace and commission a new meter. After the specified period, the consumer can report a delay (if any). After that, the company will have 30 days to complete the work, and the payment for electricity will be reduced by five percent.
