APPENDIX 17
Memorandum submitted by South Wales Electricity
plc
The weather experienced in South Wales during
this period did not result in our Severe Weather Emergency Plan
being fully invoked, although high wind speeds and lightning were
experienced.
As requested, I have provided below details
of customers who experienced an interruption to their electricity
supply as a result of faults caused by the adverse weather conditions
mentioned above.
As the duration of the supply interruptions
to customers was well below 24 hours, no compensation payments
were made.
