It removes whatever specific controls the 1918 regulations had placed on electricity generation, distribution, or consumption, returning those matters to normal peacetime regulation."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/war-precautions-electricity-regulations-1918-repeal","history":"/api/acts/war-precautions-electricity-regulations-1918-repeal/history","analysis":"/api/acts/war-precautions-electricity-regulations-1918-repeal/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/war-precautions-electricity-regulations-1918-repeal/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/war-precautions-electricity-regulations-1918-repeal/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/war-precautions-electricity-regulations-1918-repeal/documents"}}
