The ministry explained that consumers who owe payments for waste collection services receive an SMS notification in advance from the short number 2100, operated by the joint-stock company Regional Electric Networks. If the debt remains unpaid within five days of the notification, the subscriber’s ability to pay for electricity – whether through online platforms or physical payment offices – is temporarily blocked.
The ministry emphasized that this measure does not constitute disconnection from electricity. Once the outstanding debt is fully paid, the temporary restriction is automatically lifted.
