Is it legal to collect money for temporary electricity use?

According to the relevant laws and regulations, no one can "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.

Legal basis:

Article 26 of the Electricity Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) * * * Power supply business institutions in power supply business areas have the obligation to supply power to users in their business areas in accordance with state regulations; Shall not, in violation of state regulations, refuse to supply power to units and individuals that apply for electricity in their business areas. To apply for new electricity consumption, temporary electricity consumption, increased electricity consumption, change of electricity consumption and termination of electricity consumption, procedures shall be handled in accordance with the prescribed procedures. Power supply enterprises shall publish the procedures, systems and charging standards for electricity consumption in their business premises to provide information for users.

Article 12 of the Power Supply Business Rules can provide temporary electricity for non-permanent electricity consumption such as infrastructure construction sites, farmland water conservancy and municipal construction. Except with the permission of the power supply enterprise, the temporary power consumption period shall generally not exceed six months. If the formalities for extension or permanent formal use of electricity are not completed within the time limit, the power supply enterprise shall terminate power supply. Users who use temporary power supply shall not transfer power supply to other users, and power supply enterprises shall not accept power consumption changes. If it is necessary to change to regular electricity consumption, it should be handled according to the newly installed electricity consumption.
