Consultation on proposed amendments to the force majeure Code provisions

Consultation period: 12 June 2012 to 24 July 2012 5:00pm

About this consultation

The Authority has identified several errors in the drafting of the force majeure provisions in the Code, which need to be corrected in order for these provisions to be consistent with the Electricity Industry Act.

While correcting these errors, the Authority wishes to take the opportunity to correct an inconsistency in the application of the force majeure provisions, and to add further clarity around the obligations on market operation service providers and ancillary service agents during a force majeure event.

Submissions

The Authority's preference is to receive submissions in electronic format (Microsoft Word). It is not necessary to send hard copies of submissions to the Authority, unless it is not possible to do so electronically.
