They don't introduce new standalone rules—instead, they update the existing 2018 regulations. The actual changes have already been merged into the main 2018 regulations document, so this amendment instrument essentially serves as a historical record of what changed and when it took effect (1 January 2022). It affects electricity industry participants in Tasmania (administered by the Department of State Growth) by modifying the rules they must follow, though you'd need to check the updated 2018 regulations to see the specific changes."},"flash_summary_failed":{"failed":true,"reason":"Unauthenticated.
