Persons who do not at any time distribute from any distribution system more electrical power than one megawatt for the purpose of giving a supply to domestic consumers or enabling a supply to be so given with that electrical power provided that each domestic consumer receives the electrical power, disregarding stand-by electrical power, from a generating station embedded in the same distribution system as himself.
B.1. For the purposes of Class B “stand-by electrical power” means electricity supplied periodically or intermittently to a person to make good any shortfall in the availability of electricity to that person from its own generation for the purposes of its supply of electricity to domestic consumers seeking such supply, where such shortfall arises from the generating station being wholly or partly out of commission for a temporary period.

“offshore generating station” means a generating station that is situated within an area of offshore waters;
“offshore waters” means waters in or adjacent to Northern Ireland which are between the mean low water mark and the seaward limits of the territorial sea.
In this Schedule—
“consumer” means a person to whom electricity is provided (whether or not he is the same person as the person who provides the electrical power);
“domestic consumer” means a consumer provided with electricity at domestic premises (but excluding such consumer in so far as he is provided with electricity at premises other than domestic premises); and
