Western Australia act
This Act establishes licensing, consumer‑protection, network access and pricing rules for the State electricity sector. It defines who may generate, transmit, distribute and retail electricity, creates codes, last‑resort supply plans and arbitration to manage supply and disputes.
The Act states the objective of promoting efficient investment and long‑term consumer interests (s3A). It allocates decision‑making to the Authority, Minister, Treasurer and Coordinator, and requires licensees, network users and specific corporations to pay fees, audits and tariff‑equalisation/temporary contributions and to comply with enforcement powers and penalties (see ss104–105; ss129C–129Q).
