Powergen Retail Ltd
NOTICE OF REVISION TO DEEMED CUSTOMER SCHEME OPERATED BY POWERGEN RETAIL LTD
Powergen Retail Ltd, whose registered office is situated at Westwood Way, Westwood
Business Park, Coventry CV4 8LG, hereby gives notice of a revision it has made to
its deemed contract scheme pursuant to Schedule 6A of the Electricity Act 1989. The
scheme was made by Powergen Retail Ltd, as an electricity supplier, to determine the
terms and conditions under which electricity may be supplied to any premises other
than in the pursuance of a contract. The revision, which has effect from 28 April
2006, gives notice of changes to the pricing schedules applicable to business customers.
The following schedules have been amended: Schedule 2a business customers’ terms and
conditions Schedule 2b prices for non-maximum demand business customers Schedule 2c
prices for maximum demand business customers Schedule 2d prices for business customers
acquired from TXU Limited Schedule 2a. Non-Maximum Demand Business customers, and Maximum Demand Business customers 1. Contract This contract is between you and Powergen Retail Ltd (we/us) for the supply of electricity.
If you’re agreeing this contract for a limited company, partnership or other organisation,
you confirm that you have the necessary authority. If you’re a sole trader in England
or Wales you confirm that you are over the age of 18, and if trading in Scotland that
you’re over the age of 16. If you are a partnership or other organisation, you and
the other partners or officers will be jointly and severally liable under this contract.
You may not assign this contract without our consent. This contract is governed by
the laws of England and Wales for supply in England and Wales and by the laws of Scotland
for supply in Scotland. Nothing in it affects your statutory rights. We and your local
network operator reserve and maintain all our rights set out in Electricity legislation
and our Licences. Your local network operator may enforce any provision of this contract
in which it has rights. We may transfer our rights and obligations in these terms
and conditions to another company. 2. Ending the Contract You must call us if you wish to end this contract. We will stop you changing supplier
where you ask us to. Your contract with us will end when your transfer to the other
supplier is completed. Ending the contract will not affect any outstanding rights
or obligations. If you breach the terms of this contract or become in any way bankrupt
or insolvent we may end it immediately and supply you on alternative terms. 3. Price We may change the prices or other terms of this contract. You must tell us if you
then wish to cancel the contract and for the change not to take effect. Your prices
are based on what you have told us and we may have to change them if the information
we have used is found to be incorrect. Prices are subject to any change in taxation
or government levies. 4. Payment Terms You will receive bills from us for your electricity usage. We may estimate your usage.
A meter reading is taken as proof of your electricity usage unless your meter is found
to be faulty. Either of us can arrange for the meter to be tested, but will have to
pay for the test if the meter is found to be accurate. You must pay us in the way
we have agreed. If you do not pay on time we may charge you interest and/or a late
payment fee together with any legal costs associated with the recovery of your outstanding
debt. If you pay by cash, payment is due immediately on receipt of the bill. Please
tell us immediately if you have difficulty paying. Other payment options may suit
you better and we may require you to pay a security deposit. If you do not pay we
will disconnect your supply. We will charge you our costs. 5. Access to your premises You must allow access to your electricity network operator or any person authorised
by us. You must provide an emergency contact number if we or the network operator
request it and notify us should this change. 6. Connection to the Electricity Distribution System The connection terms with the local Distributor are incorporated into this contract,
a copy of which is available on request. 7. Changes to your electricity supply You must contact us or your local network operator if required and secure our agreement
if you wish to install generating equipment, modify your electricity connection or
exceed the design features of your connection. You will have to pay the costs. If
your usage or reactive power changes significantly, we may need to fit a new meter
and provide an alternative contract. You must tell us if you appoint your own metering
agent; we will provide an alternative contract. If your maximum demand exceeds your
authorised supply capacity we may make additional charges. If you exceed 100 kW you
must install a half-hourly meter at your cost. This contract will terminate and you
will be supplied under different terms. We may charge you our costs if the meter is
damaged on your premises. 8. Changing premises If you move, or wish to add sites to this contract or remove sites that you vacate,
you must give us at least 48 hours notice and provide a meter reading. If you do not
tell us, we will continue to charge you and you will remain liable for these charges.
We will confirm the price for any new sites. 9. Your Powergen Account If you move premises, your Powergen account reference will not change, unless you
request it. We will add the balance from your previous address to the account. We
will credit payments to your account to the oldest part of the balance first. If we
need to split an account for multiple premises we will use the most recent bill as
the basis. 10. Data Protection Powergen, its agents and companies within the E.ON Group will use information we
have about you and your account to manage your account. These uses include, but are
not limited to, market research, billing and providing up to date information on products
and special offers. We will not disclose any such information outside the E.ON Group
except to our agents and to credit reference and fraud prevention agencies that may
record, use and provide information to other companies. The information may be used
to make assessments for credit management and insurance, for debt tracing and to prevent
fraud and money laundering. 11. Service availability Your electricity supply may be interrupted or of lower quality due to circumstances
outside our reasonable control or that of the local network operator. 12. Liability We, and the electricity network operator, are not liable for indirect or consequential
loss (both of which include, without limitation, pure economic loss, loss of profit,
loss of business, depletion of goodwill and like loss), or damage beyond our reasonable
control however caused (including as a result of negligence). We are liable for death
or personal injury caused by our negligence. The maximum compensation payable by any
of us for any incident or related series of incidents (excluding death or personal
injury) will not exceed £100,000 in any calendar year. Schedule 2b: Non-Maximum Demand Business customers All prices exclude VAT. All unit rates quoted are pence per kWh. Unrestricted, Quarterly
