Is it illegal to charge for temporary electricity use in residential areas?

It is illegal to charge for temporary electricity use in residential areas, and no one is allowed to "resell" electricity except the power supply department. If the property or developer wants to collect temporary electricity charges, it is illegal to "resell" the temporary electricity used by the developer for construction. Temporary instruments have not been calibrated and stamped by authoritative organizations, so the measurement is also invalid. You can also refuse to pay the temporary electricity bill accordingly.
