Spanish term or phrase: cascada de distribución

The text describes the transposition of EC Electricity Directives into Spanish legislation. The section in question is talking about why the transmission and distribution systems needed to be unbundled, stating that it was to avoid:
"la controversia conocida como "distribución en cascada". Un distribuidor pedía acceso a la red de otro distribuidor con el fin de suministrar energía eléctrica a un cliente situado en la zona de influencia del segundo -p. ej. una nueva urbanización-..... La modificación en 2007 de la LSE acabó con esta situación, excluyendo de modo expreso el suministro de las tareas propias de la distribución de energía eléctrica"
I can think of a number of possible translations "cascade distribution" "waterfall distribution", but is there a specific term for this situation?
Thank you fory our help
