Part I: ELECTRICITY SUPPLY

For the purposes of section 6F(3), transmission over a transmission system (or anything forming part of it) takes place during a "commissioning period" if it takes place at any time—

states that it would be possible to carry on an activity to which section 4(1)(b) applies by making available for use that system.
