sec.62 Existing rights to receive DNA services

This section applies— if a transmission network or a part of a transmission network in relation to which this subdivision applies is or includes a designated network asset; and in relation to a right, whether conditional or unconditional, to receive a DNA service from the owner of the designated network asset that existed immediately before the relevant event happened (an existing DNA right ). The relevant event does not affect the existing DNA right other than as provided under this section. An existing access policy for the designated network asset providing for the existing DNA right continues in effect under the National Electricity Rules to the extent necessary to preserve the existing DNA right under this section. An existing DNA agreement for the designated network asset relating to the existing DNA right applies— in relation to the hub transmission network for the regional energy hub; and despite any inconsistency with this part or the management plan for the hub. A regulation may provide for— how the existing DNA right, existing access policy or existing DNA agreement is to be given effect in relation to the hub transmission network for the regional energy hub; and any permitted or restricted variations of the existing DNA right, existing access policy or existing DNA agreement to allow the existing DNA right to be preserved under this section; and any other matter necessary to preserve the existing DNA right under this section. In this section— existing access policy , for a designated network asset mentioned in subsection (1) (a) , means an access policy for the designated network asset that was in effect under the National Electricity Rules immediately before the relevant event happened. existing DNA agreement , for a designated network asset mentioned in subsection (1) (a) , means an agreement providing for connection and access to the designated network asset that was in effect immediately before the relevant event happened. s 62 amd 2025 No. 30 s 73 sch 1 (sec.62-ssec.1) This section applies— if a transmission network or a part of a transmission network in relation to which this subdivision applies is or includes a designated network asset; and in relation to a right, whether conditional or unconditional, to receive a DNA service from the owner of the designated network asset that existed immediately before the relevant event happened (an existing DNA right ). (sec.62-ssec.2) The relevant event does not affect the existing DNA right other than as provided under this section. (sec.62-ssec.3) An existing access policy for the designated network asset providing for the existing DNA right continues in effect under the National Electricity Rules to the extent necessary to preserve the existing DNA right under this section. (sec.62-ssec.4) An existing DNA agreement for the designated network asset relating to the existing DNA right applies— in relation to the hub transmission network for the regional energy hub; and despite any inconsistency with this part or the management plan for the hub. (sec.62-ssec.5) A regulation may provide for— how the existing DNA right, existing access policy or existing DNA agreement is to be given effect in relation to the hub transmission network for the regional energy hub; and any permitted or restricted variations of the existing DNA right, existing access policy or existing DNA agreement to allow the existing DNA right to be preserved under this section; and any other matter necessary to preserve the existing DNA right under this section. (sec.62-ssec.6) In this section— existing access policy , for a designated network asset mentioned in subsection (1) (a) , means an access policy for the designated network asset that was in effect under the National Electricity Rules immediately before the relevant event happened. existing DNA agreement , for a designated network asset mentioned in subsection (1) (a) , means an agreement providing for connection and access to the designated network asset that was in effect immediately before the relevant event happened.
