(c)
requiring the electricity entity—
(i)
to prepare and periodically revise a safety, reliability,

(i)
to grant to each electricity entity holding a licence
authorising the operation of a transmission or distribution network rights to
use or have access to the entity's electricity generating plant that are
necessary for the purpose of ensuring the proper integrated operation of the
State's power system and the proper carrying on of the operations authorised
by the entity's licence; and
(ii)
in the absence of agreement as to the terms on which such
rights are to be granted, to comply with any determination of the Commission

(in a manner approved by the Commission) that the insurance is adequate and
appropriate given the nature of the operations carried on under the entity's
licence and the risks entailed in those operations.
