sch.3-sec.9 Charges
When you insert your power card into the card-operated meter, credit is transferred from your power card to the meter. The credit transferred to your card-operated meter is then deducted from the meter as you consume energy at your premises. The credit deducted from your card-operated meter will be calculated on the basis of the applicable charges and fees for the type of tariff applied to your premises. When the balance of credit on your card-operated meter is entirely depleted you have the option of using emergency credit. The level of emergency credit allowed is determined by us and is dependent upon the tariff that applies to you. However, on or from 1 July 2018, the level of emergency credit allowed is— at least a level equivalent to the average cost of 3 days supply to within $1; or another amount approved by the prescribed regulator. When you transfer additional credit to your card-operated meter, the amount of emergency credit consumed will be deducted from the amount of credit placed onto the meter. On or from 1 July 2018, we will ensure that our card-operated meter will not disconnect supply of energy to your premises as a result of a self-disconnection before 8.00am and after 3.00pm.
