    thousand three hundred twenty (1,320) feet of a new service entrance the
    consumer shall have the right of choice of electric supplier.
    (b)  If only one (1) electric supplier has an existing service line within
    one thousand three hundred twenty (1,320) feet of the new service entrance
    that electric supplier shall have the right to serve the consumer at the
    new service entrance.
    (c)  If more than one (1) electric supplier has an existing service line
    within one thousand three hundred twenty (1,320) feet of the new service
    entrance the electric supplier whose existing service line is nearest the
    new service entrance shall have the right to serve the consumer at the new
    service entrance.

    within one thousand three hundred twenty (1,320) feet of the new service
    entrance and it cannot be determined by proof which service line is

facilities to any new service entrance nor shall it supply electric service to
any new service entrance in violation of the provisions of this section,
except as ordered by the commission pursuant to this act.
