79: No discrimination when paying rebates or dividends

You could also call this:

“This rule about fair payments from electricity companies no longer exists”

This law used to say something about how electricity companies should treat people fairly when giving out rebates or dividends. However, this rule no longer exists. It was removed from the law on 1 September 2022. This means that the rule doesn’t apply anymore and you don’t need to worry about it.
