Is there a penalty for electricity charges during the Sichuan epidemic?

< strong > during the Sichuan epidemic, there was a penalty for electricity charges.

During the epidemic period, in order to support enterprises to resume work and production, and alleviate the financial pressure of enterprises, some localities introduced the policies of "non-stop payment of arrears" and "deferred payment of electricity charges". However, in the process of implementation, power supply enterprises put forward that the electricity fee can be postponed, but the late payment fee cannot be exempted, and it needs to be calculated according to the original agreement. Is it right for power supply enterprises to continue to collect late fees? In view of this problem, the simple reply is as follows:

1. There is a power supply contract relationship between power supply enterprises and power users, and the rights and obligations of both parties are bound by the power supply contract. Under normal circumstances, users need to pay the electricity fee in accordance with the contract. If they fail to pay the electricity fee in time, they should bear the liability for breach of contract and pay liquidated damages to the power supply enterprise, which is commonly called "late payment fee". According to the Regulation on the Supply and Use of Electricity, "if the electricity fee is not paid within the time limit, the power supply enterprise may charge a penalty of 1‰ to 3‰ of the total electricity fee every day from the date of overdue, and the specific proportion shall be agreed by both parties in the power supply and use contract".
