In the case of wholesale supply, the charge shall not exceed £16 per kilovolt-ampere of half-hourly maximum demand per year plus ½d. per unit. “Wholesale supply” for this purpose shall be held to be a supply in respect of which the consumer shall guarantee to pay not less than £180 per year.

A minimum charge of 7s. 6d. per month may be collected if required by the licensee, and shall be printed on the licensee’s conditions of supply.
