Interruption etc. of supply
11X Interruption etc. of supply
A licensee may interrupt, suspend or restrict the supply of gas provided by the licensee if in the licensee’s opinion it is necessary to do so because of an accident, emergency, potential danger or other unavoidable cause.
A licensee is not liable for any loss or damage that arises from any such interruption, suspension or restriction except to the extent that an agreement to which the licensee is a party provides otherwise.
A licensee must take reasonable steps to minimise the extent or duration of any such interruption, suspension or restriction.
This section is in addition to —
the provisions of section 48 of the Energy Operators (Powers) Act 1979 that apply to a licensee by operation of section 11ZO; and
any contractual rights that the licensee may have to interrupt, suspend or restrict the supply of gas,
and does not limit those provisions or rights.
