In addition, according to Article 7.19 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, unauthorized connection or unauthorized (non-metered) use of electric energy entails the imposition of an administrative fine. For legal entities, its size is from one hundred to two hundred thousand rubles.
