Abstract

This Act provides for regulations with regard to electrical generation, transmission, use and safety installations thereof.

The Government may issue regulations on exemptions from the requirement of concession under § 1 and the prohibition to start building according to § 3 in the case of certain types of lines or stations, or in the case of lines or stations in certain areas. Such a provision may not, however, relate to international relations.
