15. (a) A new substation will be required within thedevelopment:

(i) when the criteria to supply a development withmultiple consumers as outlined in regulation14(2)(b)(i) or (ii) are not satisfied;

(ii) when the criteria for bulk supplies outlined inregulation 14(3)(d)(i) or (ii) or (iii) are notsatisfied;

(iii) when there is no substation in the vicinity fromwhich it is technically possible to extend anadequate low voltage supply to the developmentin question.

In either case Enemalta will retain fullownership of the substation after it is energisedand access will be required at all times for theCorporations personnel, contractors andequipment. Enemalta will also maintain thesubstation and associated equipment.

(ii) As long as the substation is used exclusively bythe applicant/applicants, the metering equipmentshall be installed on the high voltage side.

(iii) In case Enemalta and the applicant/applicantsagree to share the substation costs, and the latterprovides the land and civil works and/or anystructural alterations, he will be givencompensation therefore at a maximum amount of23,293, and cost sharing would be applied on apro-rata basis on the proportion of load used byeach party. Any compensation paid to theapplicant/applicants will be added to the cost tosupply and equip the substation for the purposeof cost sharing.

(iv) When the substation in question has been totallyfinanced by the applicant/applicants the formerwould be refunded at 58.23 per kVA extendedto any new applicant/ applicants. This alsoapplies should Enemalta decide to extend lowvoltage supplies for general public use from thesubstation. The refund provision will continue toapply only for up to 10 years from thecommissioning date of the relative substation.

(v) When the substation has been financed on acostsharing basis by the applicant/applicants andEnemalta, the refund in subparagraph (iv) willnot be due to the applicant/applicants.

(c) (i) In the case of a development with multipleconsumers which requires a substation as inregulation 14(2)(e), the applicant/applicantsmust provide a suitable substation room withinthe development in question. Enemalta wouldcompensate the applicant/applicants with amaximum amount of 23,293 for providing thesubstation land, civil works and/or any structuralalterations. Enemalta would then complete thesubstation thereby, bearing the whole cost.Enemalta will however retain the right to extendsupplies from the substation to applicantsoutside the development without making anyadditional compensation to the applicant/applicants.

(ii) All multiple consumer applicants within the

ELECTRICITY SUPPLY [S.L.423.01 9

development will be charged the application feesin regulation 14(1)(c).
