22 Authority conferred by licence authorising operation of
electricity network
(1) A licence authorising the operation of an electricity network
authorises the electricity entity:
(a) to operate the electricity network in the geographical area
stated in the licence; and
(ab) to operate any dedicated connection asset specified in the
licence; and
(b) if stated in the licence – to connect the electricity network to
another electricity network stated in the licence.
(2) However, the licence does not relieve the electricity entity or
anyone else from complying with laws applying to developing,
building, operating or maintaining an electricity network.
