Electricity Industry (Obligation to Connect) Regulations 2005

If the distributor decides to satisfy an obligation under regulation 4 by attaching or connecting the premises to the distribution system, it is required to do so before the time limit imposed by subregulation (2).

The time limit for the purposes of subregulation (1) is —

the end of the 20th business day after the day on which the obligation arises; or

any later time to which the customer agrees in writing.

If the distributor decides to satisfy an obligation under regulation 4 by providing an SPS for the supply of electricity to the premises, it is required to do so before the time limit imposed by subregulation (2B).

The time limit for the purposes of subregulation (2A) is —

the end of the period of 6 months beginning on the day on which the obligation arises; or

any later time to which the customer agrees in writing.

If, during any of the time that this regulation gives the distributor for complying with the obligation, any written law prevents the distributor from complying, subregulation (2) or (2B) (whichever is relevant) applies as if the obligation arises when the written law ceases to prevent the distributor from complying.
