sec.239 Contingency supply plan—content requirements

This section imposes requirements (the content requirements ) for an industry participant’s contingency supply plan. Despite the content requirements, a matter must not be provided for in the plan to the extent it conflicts with— a safety-related provision made under the Petroleum and Gas (Production and Safety) Act or another Act; or a contingency supply plan made for the State by the regulator. The plan must— identify the contingencies or events that may lead to an interruption or curtailment of the supply of a covered gas in relation to the industry participant; and provide for the following if any of the contingencies or events happen— alternative arrangements for the supply of the covered gas; a list stating the priority for supply to customers, or types of customer; how essential services are to be supplied; and give information on the types of customer each contingency or event is likely to affect; and contact details for the industry participant; and another matter prescribed under a regulation. The alternative arrangements must, as far as reasonably practicable, ensure supply to customers is maximised if any of the contingencies or events happen. s 239 amd 2004 No. 25 s 985 (amd 2004 No. 26 s 257 ); 2006 No. 60 s 130 ; 2023 No. 25 s 31 sch 1 (sec.239-ssec.1) This section imposes requirements (the content requirements ) for an industry participant’s contingency supply plan.
