(A) Every principal use, and every lot within a subdivision, shall have available a source of electric power adequate to accommodate of reasonable needs.
(B) Compliance with this requirement shall be determined as follows.
(1) If the use is not a subdivision and is located on a lot that is served by an existing power line and the use can be served by a simple connection to such power line (as opposed to a more complex distribution system such as would be required in an apartment complex or shopping center), then no further certification is needed.
(2) If the use is a subdivision or is not located on a lot served by an existing power line, or if a substantial internal distribution system will be necessary, then the electric utility service provider must review the proposed plans and certify to the town that it can provide service that is adequate to meet the needs of the proposed use, and of every lot within the proposed subdivision.
(3) All major subdivisions shall be required to utilize underground electric distribution systems, except where the electric utility provider certifies to the town that the same is not practicable.
