s 25 Exceptions to duty to supply electricity
Nothing in subsection 24(1) shall be taken as requiring a licensee to give a supply of electricity to any premises if— (a) (i) the supply of electricity is already being given to the premises by another licensee; and (ii) such supply is given whether wholly or partly through the licensee’s supply lines and electrical equipment or plant; (b) he is prevented from doing so by circumstances beyond his control; (c) circumstances exist by reason of which his doing so will or may involve his breach of any regulation under this Act; or (d) it is not reasonable in all the circumstances for him to be required to do so: Provided that this paragraph shall not apply in relation to a supply of electricity which is being given to any premises unless the licensee has given to the occupier or to the owner, if the premises are not occupied, a notice of not less than seven working days of his intention to discontinue the supply of electricity.
