Electricity Act, 1987 (Act No. 41 of 1987)10. Duties of Licensee |
| (1) | Every licensee shall up to the limit, if any, of electricity which he may generate or supply in terms of his license, supply electricity within the area of supply mentioned in his license to every applicant who is in a position to make satisfactory arrangements for payment therefor. |
| (2) | In case of undue delay or refusal on the part of the licensee to supply any applicant with electricity, such applicant may appeal to the regulator, which shall decide whether the licensee shall undertake the supply and which shall determine the conditions on which it shall be done. |
| (3) | No person shall be entitled to the supply of electricity for any premises having a separate supply of electricity unless he has agreed to pay such minimum annual sum as will, in the opinion of the regulator, give the licensee an income which is sufficient to cover the expenses of the licensee in connection with such supply or unless he has given security for the payment of the said amount. |
