91 Fixing standard terms and conditions for customers
(1) If an electricity entity sells electricity to customers of a prescribed
class under a licence authorising the selling of electricity, the
electricity entity must from time to time fix standard terms and
conditions governing the sale of electricity (including the service of
making connections to the electricity network) by the entity to non-
contestable customers or customers of a prescribed class.
(2) The standard terms and conditions fixed under subsection (1):
(a) are to be published in the Gazette;
(b) come into force on the day specified by the electricity entity in
the notice (being a day not earlier than the day on which the
notice is published in the Gazette); and
(c) are contractually binding on the electricity entity and each
customer in the class of customers to whom the terms and
conditions are expressed to apply (except as modified or
excluded by express agreement between the entity and a
customer).
(3) The electricity entity must prepare a summary of the standard terms
and conditions in a form approved by the Utilities Commission.
(4) The electricity entity must distribute a copy of the summary to each
of its customers.
