(1) The Corporation shall, upon being required to do so by the owner or occupier of any premises situated within 100 metres from any supply line of the Corporation in which the Corporation is, for the time being, required to maintain or is maintaining, a supply of energy for the purposes of general supply to private consumers, give and continue to give a supply of energy for those premises, and the Corporation shall furnish and lay any supply lines that may be necessary for the purposes of supplying the maximum power with which any such owner or occupier is entitled to be supplied:
Provided that the cost of so much of the construction of any supply lines as exceeds a length of 15 metres for the supply of energy from any supply of the Corporation to the premises of any owner or occupier shall, if the Corporation so requires, be defrayed by that owner or occupier.
(2) Every owner or occupier of premises requiring a supply of energy shall—
(a) serve a notice upon the Corporation specifying the premises in respect of which the supply is required, the maximum power required to be supplied and the day, not being an earlier day than a reasonable time after the date of the service of the notice, upon which the supply is required to commence; and
(b) if required by the Corporation, enter into a written contract with the Corporation to continue to receive and pay for a supply of energy, for a period of at least two years, of such an amount that the payment to be made for the supply, at the rate of charge for the time being charged
by the Corporation for the supply of energy to ordinary consumers within the area of supply, shall not be less than twenty per cent per year on the outlay incurred by the Corporation in providing any supply lines required under this section to be provided by the Corporation for the purpose of the supply, and, if required by the Corporation, give security for the payment to the Corporation of all moneys which may become due by the owner or occupier in respect of any supply lines to be furnished by the Corporation, and in respect of energy to be supplied by the Corporation.
(3) The Corporation shall, upon receiving reasonable notice from a municipal or local authority requiring the Corporation to supply energy to any electric lamps used for the lighting of any street or public place in the municipal or local authority area, as the case may be, and maintained by such authority within the distance of 100 metres from any supply line of the Corporation in which the Corporation is, for the time being, required to maintain or is maintaining a supply of energy for the purposes of general supply to private consumers, give and continue to give a supply of energy to those lamps in such quantities as such authority may require to be supplied.
(4) (a) The Corporation shall not be compelled to give a supply of energy to any premises unless the Corporation is reasonably satisfied that the system, electric lines, fittings and equipment therein are in good order and condition, and would not in the opinion of the Corporation endanger public safety or private safety or to affect injuriously the use of energy by the Corporation or by other persons.
(b) The Corporation may, after the Corporation has given a supply of energy in respect of any premises, by notice in writing, require the owner or occupier of those premises, within seven days after the date of the service of the notice, to give the Corporation security for the payment of all moneys which may become due to him in respect of the supply, if the owner or occupier has not already given that security, or if any security given has become invalid or is insufficient, and, in the event of any such owner or occupier failing to comply with the terms of the notice, the Corporation may, if he thinks fit, discontinue to supply energy for the premises so long as the failure continues.
