Extent: E+W+S

(1) This regulation applies to an electricity distributor where it is notified by a relevant authority of a fault repair that needs to be carried out in respect of an unmetered connection through which a supply of electricity is provided to street lighting or street furniture, and the electricity distributor’s performance in responding to the fault repair is not the subject of a specific bilateral agreement between the electricity distributor and the relevant authority.
(2) Where this regulation applies and the notification received by the electricity distributor calls for an emergency response, and the electricity distributor fails to attend on site within the prescribed period from the receipt of the notification to carry out works to remove immediate danger to the public or to property arising from the electricity distributor’s distribution system, the electricity distributor must, except in any of the circumstances described in paragraph (7), pay to the relevant authority the prescribed sum.
(3) Where this regulation applies and the notification received by the electricity distributor calls for a high-priority fault repair involving traffic lights, and the electricity distributor fails to complete fault-rectification works within the prescribed period from the receipt of the notification, the electricity distributor must, except in any of the circumstances described in paragraph (7), pay to the relevant authority the appropriate prescribed sum.
(4) Where this regulation applies and the notification received by the electricity distributor calls for a high-priority fault repair not involving traffic lights, and the electricity distributor fails to complete fault-rectification works within the prescribed period from the receipt of the notification, the electricity distributor must, except in any of the circumstances described in paragraph (7), pay to the relevant authority the appropriate prescribed sum.
(5) Where this regulation applies and the notification received by the electricity distributor calls for a multiple-unit fault repair, and the electricity distributor fails to complete fault-rectification works within the prescribed period from the receipt of the notification, the electricity distributor must, except in any of the circumstances described in paragraph (7), pay to the relevant authority the appropriate prescribed sum.

(7) The circumstances described in this paragraph are—
(a) each of the circumstances described in regulation 15; and
