Consultation

This consultation sought feedback on proposed changes to the default distributor agreement and consumption data templates in Part 12A of the Electricity Industry Participation Code.

Thanks to all those who made a submission. We are carefully considering your feedback before deciding the next steps on this project.

For this consultation, we proposed changes to the default distributor agreement and consumption data templates to address key issues, including:

  • costs faced by traders wanting to compete for customers on distributors’ networks are higher than they need to be
  • distributors face higher-than-necessary costs in combining historical electricity consumption data with other datasets for the purpose of providing distribution services or developing distribution prices.

The default distributor agreement template contains a set of default terms for a distributor agreement between a distributor and a trader wanting to retail electricity on the distributor’s network.

The consumption data template contains a set of default terms for an agreement between a distributor and a trader for providing historical consumption data to the distributor.
