§ 813. Use of Electricity.

1. 

The Council shall be the sole retail electric regulatory authority for the Borough of Quakertown and all its retail electric consumers.

2. 

The company is the sole entity permitted to aggregate retail customers' power needs and demand response.

3. 

The Borough Manager, as general manager of the company, is authorized to adopt any necessary regulations to implement this Part.

4. 

No other power supply shall be connected with the company's facilities, except by written consent of the company.

5. 

Except as may be otherwise determined and approved by Council, the company shall be the sole electric service and distribution utility within the corporate limits of the municipality.

6. 

Because the company's facilities used in supplying electricity to the customer have a definite limited capacity and can be damaged by overloads, the customer shall give adequate notice to the company and obtain the company's written consent before making any substantial change in the amount or use of the load connected to the company's service.

7. 

The customer shall not use electricity in any manner which will be detrimental to the company's supply of electricity to other customers. The company reserves the right, but shall have no duty, to determine the suitability of apparatus or appliances to be connected to its service by the customer and to refuse to continue to supply electricity if it shall determine that the operation of such apparatus or appliances may be detrimental to its general supply of electricity.
