Section 6 of the Electricity Act 1989 is to be substituted by section 30 of the Act. However, at the time of the making of these Regulations section 30 of the Act has not been brought into force and, therefore, the references to section 6(1)(c) and 6(2) of the Electricity Act 1989 are to the provisions in section 6 as originally enacted.
