Response from the competent authority: "Response from the Ministry of Infrastructure:\
  \ \"The owner of the metering point\", or more correctly \"the holder of the connection\
  \ consent\" or \"the signatory to the connection contract\", is in practice the\
  \ owner of the building and, with it, the connection. The owner is the one who paid\
  \ for the construction of both the house and the connection. Ownership of the connection\
  \ is inherited or sold together with the building. There may be one or several owners\
  \ of the connection. The electricity bill payer is most often the user of the building\
  \ or property, but not always the owner. Or not the sole owner. He or she may be\
  \ a mere tenant. Often the bills are issued in the name of the owner at the address\
  \ of the building where the connection is located, and are paid by the tenant, in\
  \ accordance with the rental agreement. Sometimes, however, the lease agreement\
  \ is drafted in such a way that the right to conclude the network use contract and\
  \ the electricity supply contract is transferred to the tenant. In this case, the\
  \ electricity bill is payable to the tenant, not to the landlord. There are cases\
  \ where the tenant changes and the owner remains the same, or the owner changes\
  \ and the tenant remains.\r\nThe contracts that are concluded between the actors\
  \ are as follows:\r\n1. a connection contract is concluded between the operator\
  \ and the owner of the building,\r\n2. a network use contract (payment of network\
  \ charges) is concluded between the operator and the owner or tenant; and\r\n3.\
  \ the supply contract (payment for the electricity supplied) is concluded between\
  \ the supplier and the owner or tenant.When drafting the Energy Law, it was examined\
  \ very carefully whether any of the three contracts could be skipped or merged,\
  \ but this proved not to be possible, as different relationships and different actors\
  \ are involved. It should be noted that we have two \"electricity companies\": the\
  \ supplier (which supplies and charges for the energy) and the electricity operator\
  \ (which provides and charges for the network). These two companies must be separate,\
  \ as provided for in our and European legislation.\r\nAll relations between these\
  \ actors must be legally regulated by contracts. When a change of user takes place,\
  \ new contracts usually have to be signed and the ownership, rights and powers have\
  \ to be verified beforehand. Mere notification is not sufficient.\r\n "
