Explanatory note

This amendment to the Electricity Industry Participation Code 2010 (Code) comes into force on 29 October 2020.

This amendment amends Part 13 of the Code to allow the Authority to access certain types of de-anonymised information about participants from exchange platforms through which risk management contracts are traded. This will be done by imposing obligations on participants to permit each exchange platform on which they trade risk management contracts to share such information with the Authority and make all necessary arrangements to ensure such information can be provided. This amendment will also give the Authority discretion to remove participants' existing obligation to manually disclose the same information.
