Extensions cont'd

• If NB Power requires space for transformers, switches or other facilities of any kind in order to provide service to the Customer, the Customer will furnish free of charge adequate space for and acceptable access to this equipment. The Customer is restricted from placing permanent structures within this place. NB Power determines the location of any padmounted equipment.
• The Customer is responsible for digging, sanding and backfilling of trenches and all other civil work, including necessary conduits and concrete pads for padmounted equipment, and all other non-electrical infrastructure as required by NB Power's Standard Construction Practices manual, applicable CSA Standards and municipal bylaws and regulations.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, NB Power reserves the right to refuse an underground extension to its facilities for reasons of safety, environmental conditions or sound engineering practice.

Customers will supply, install, own and maintain their Underground Service Loop. A sufficient length of wire must be provided at the base of NB Power's supply device (e.g., padmounted transformer, pole) to allow connection to NB Power Facilities.

The optional underground facilities charge recovers the difference in construction costs between what NB Power normally supplies and what the Customer requests and is provided. All charges related to optional underground facilities are non-refundable.

The optional underground facilities charge equals the total cost of the facilities less the NB Power investment for the equivalent standard overhead facilities.
