Electricity Act 1992

Licensing of electricity suppliers

72: Duty to supply

You could also call this:

“This rule about electricity companies having to give people power doesn't exist anymore”

You should know that the law about suppliers having to provide electricity has been removed. This part of the Electricity Act 1992, called ‘Duty to supply’, no longer exists. It was taken out of the law on 1 April 1994. This means that the rules about electricity suppliers being required to provide electricity have changed since then.
