"electricity" means electrical power when generated, transmitted, supplied or used for any purpose except the transmission of any communication or signal;
Subsection (1) applies where -

the interruption of electricity supply -
exceeds such continuous period as the Authority may determine; and
resulted from the incapacity of the electricity licensee.
For the avoidance of doubt, the acceptance of any compensation under subsection (1) shall be without prejudice to the person's right to bring a civil action against the electricity licensee for any loss or damage caused to any person or his property by such interruption of electricity supply to the person.
