Additional Metering Equipment. Either party may, at its own cost, install and maintain additional Metering Equipment (whether owned by that party or by a third party) for metering data verification purposes or other purposes, provided that it complies with Part 10 of the Code, and: (a) the additional Metering Equipment does not interfere with the certification or normal operation of, and communication with, any installed equipment owned or used by the other party and, in the case of any installation by the Retailer, does not displace the Metering Equipment used by the Distributor at the Effective Date for the purpose described in clause 10.8(a) unless the parties have agreed a resolution in accordance with clause 10.7(c); (b) the party installing the additional Metering Equipment ensures that it is installed and maintained in accordance with Good Electricity Industry Practice; and (c) in the case of additional Metering Equipment installed by the Distributor or Retailer where the existing Metering Equipment does not provide the functionality or services required by the party proposing the additional Metering Equipment and there is insufficient space within the metering box for that additional Metering Equipment, the parties will use their best endeavours to seek a resolution that allows both parties’ requirements to be met.
