50 Utilities Commission to investigate complaint
(1) The Utilities Commission must investigate a complaint received by
it unless the Utilities Commission reasonably believes that:
(a) the complainant is not, or is unlikely to be, adversely affected
by the conduct or noncompliance alleged in the complaint;
(b) the complainant has not shown he or she has made a genuine
attempt to resolve the subject matter of the complaint with the
electricity entity; or
(c) the complaint is frivolous or vexatious.
(2) If the Utilities Commission decides not to investigate a complaint,
the Utilities Commission must, within 14 days after making the
decision, give to the complainant a written notice stating its decision
and the reason for its decision.
