§ 34-1519. Sale of generation assets.

The code of conduct required by this subsection shall include the following protections:
A prohibition on the release of proprietary customer information from the electric company to the affiliate;
A prohibition on the use by the affiliate of office space owned or used by the electric company;
A prohibition on the sharing of employees by the electric company and the affiliate;
A requirement that the electric company and the affiliate maintain separate books and records; and
A requirement that the electric company and the affiliate allocate and account for all shared expenses.
