Does this mean the outlet must be installed on the “long” part of the island?


(3) Peninsular Countertop Spaces. At least one receptacle

outlet shall be installed at each peninsular countertop long
dimension space with a long dimension of 600 mm (24 in.) or
greater and a short dimension of 300 mm (12 in.) or greater. A
peninsular countertop is measured from the connected
perpendicular wall.

Ok. Never mind. I found in the 2017 NEC you will now start you area of measurement from the “perpendicular wall”, which means the receptacle on the wall at this counter location will suffice for the required receptacle peninsula.

So an additional outlet is not required, providing there is an outlet in the peninsula area.

Yeah, now look at it a peninsula that is broken up by a range or something. The long dimension still applies. I believe around here they are not enforcing it that way as it has been deemed. RIDICULOUS
