Extension of Consultation Period for Electricity Retail Supply Code

On 29 July 2016, the Commission published a consultation paper on proposed amendments to the Electricity Retail Supply Code requesting submissions from stakeholders on Power and Water Corporation’s (PWC) application to amend the Code.

The Commission noted that several issues are contingent on other developments in the wholesale market and the Government’s electricity reform program, and also foreshadowed substantive amendments to the Code in light of the changes to the Northern Territory’s electricity sector since the Code was last substantially reviewed in 2012.

In light of stakeholder feedback, and to allow stakeholders more time to consider their submissions, the Commission has extended the due date for submissions to close of business, Friday 23 September 2016.

Submissions can be made via:

Where submissions contain commercial or confidential information, this information should be clearly indicated, and in the interest of a transparent consultation process, a version suitable for publication should be provided to the Commission.

Queries should be directed to the Utilities Commission at +61 8 8999 5480 or email at utilities.commission@nt.gov.au.
