(2) A RoLR register EoI may be lodged by a retailer with the AER either in response to an AER call for expressions of interest or at any other time.

(3) A RoLR register EoI must contain such information as will enable the AER to take the RoLR criteria into consideration in relation to the retailer and otherwise be in accordance with the AER RoLR Guidelines.

(4) A RoLR register EoI may contain proposals as to—

(a) customers or classes of customers the retailer will accept as its customers if it were to be appointed a designated RoLR in respect of a RoLR event; and

(b) numbers of customers the retailer will accept if it were to be appointed a designated RoLR in respect of a RoLR event; and

(c) variation to the retailer’s RoLR cost recovery scheme.

(5) Subsections (3) and (4) do not limit the information that may be included in a RoLR register EoI or the proposals that a retailer may make in that expression of interest.
