A new wholesale authorisation is an authorisation to the new water supply licensee to introduce water into the supply system of a water undertaker—
a
by means of which system any particular supply in accordance with the licensee’s new retail authorisation is to take place, and

where that introduction is to be made in connection with that intended supply.

Any guidance issued by the Authority under old section 17D(3) of the 1991 Act is to apply to estimates of the quantity of water to be supplied to any premises in accordance with a new wholesale authorisation as it does for any estimate for the purposes of old section 17D(2) of the 1991 Act.
