For the purposes of subsection (2), the average total length of interruptions of supply is to be calculated as at 30 June in each year —
by taking the average total length, in minutes, of interruptions of supply to customer premises in an area during each year of the period of 4 years ending on that day; and
by then taking the average of the 4 annual figures determined under paragraph (a).
Each customer premises, or part of such premises, for which the supply of electricity is metered separately under the Energy Operators (Powers) Act 1979 section 62(5) are separate premises for the purposes of this section.
