Extent: E+W+S

(1) This regulation applies to an electricity distributor where—
(a) a relevant authority gives a notice under section 16A(1) of the Act (including a notice modifying any previous notice) requesting the offer of terms for making an unmetered connection;
(b) the notice relates to a relevant unmetered connection scheme and the electricity distributor’s performance in relation to the relevant unmetered connection scheme is not the subject of a specific bilateral agreement between the electricity distributor and the relevant authority; and
(c) the electricity distributor receives from the relevant authority—
(i) the information relating to the provision of the connection that is or could reasonably be expected to be within the knowledge of the relevant authority and that the electricity distributor reasonably requires to enable it to provide the quotation; and
(ii) payment of any connection offer expenses in accordance with regulations made under section 16A(4A) of the Act.
(2) Where this regulation applies and the electricity distributor fails to dispatch a quotation to the relevant authority within the prescribed period from the applicable date, the electricity distributor must, except in any of the circumstances described in paragraph (3), pay to the relevant authority the prescribed sum.
(3) The circumstances described in this paragraph are—
(a) each of the circumstances described in regulation 15;
(b) the existence in relation to the required connection of any matter or event that is contrary to any regulations made under paragraph 1(1A) of Schedule 7 to the Act or to the applicable provisions of any industry code maintained in accordance with the conditions of the electricity distributor’s distribution licence and with which the electricity distributor is required to comply; and
(c) that the notice requesting the offer of terms causes the total number of units of street lighting or other street furniture for which such a notice has been given by the relevant authority to the electricity distributor in the month to exceed 115% of the monthly average for the calendar year last ending prior to the start of that month where this has not been pre-agreed (where “monthly average” means, in respect of a calendar year, the total number of units of street lighting or other street furniture for which such a notice was given by the relevant authority to the electricity distributor during that calendar year, divided by 12).
