(2) In compliance with all State and local electrical codes (satisfactory evidence of compliance to be provided to TVA upon request).
(b) Electrical service shall be installed with an electrical disconnect that is located above the 500–year floodplain or the flood risk profile, whichever is higher, and is accessible during flood events.
