sec.76 Formation of deemed AER approved standard connection contract

A customer connection contract in the form of a distributor’s deemed AER approved standard connection contract under section 75 is taken to be entered into, by the distributor and a large customer of a class to which the approved form applies, as set out in this section. In the case of a new connection or a connection alteration, a contract in the form of a distributor’s deemed AER approved standard connection contract takes effect as a contract between the distributor and a large customer of a class to which the approved form applies, on acceptance by the customer of the distributor’s connection offer in accordance with the requirements under— in the case of electricity— Chapter 5A of the NER; or in the case of gas— Part 12A of the NGR. In the case of an existing connection that is not the subject of a connection alteration, a distributor’s form of deemed AER approved standard connection contract takes effect as a contract between the distributor and a large customer when— in the case of an existing connection at premises that are not energised—the customer’s premises become re‐energised (or reconnected); or in the case of an existing connection at premises that are energised—the customer commences to take supply of energy at those premises. In the case of an existing connection where— a customer has been reclassified as a large customer for particular premises; and a deemed standard connection contract applied in relation to the customer and the same premises immediately before the reclassification, the deemed AER approved standard connection contract for that class of large customer takes effect between the customer and the distributor when the customer receives notice of the reclassification. In the case of an existing connection where— a deemed standard connection contract applies in relation to a large customer and particular premises; and a deemed AER approved standard connection contract for the relevant class of large customers of the distributor is approved and published under section 75 , the deemed AER approved standard connection contract takes effect between the customer and the distributor when the customer receives notice of the contract. Subsections (1) —(4a) do not apply if a negotiated customer connection contract already exists between the distributor and the large customer in relation to the premises concerned. Notice of the formation of the deemed AER approved standard connection contract must be given to the large customer. s 76 amd 2012 No. 16 (SA) s 5 (sec.76-ssec.1) A customer connection contract in the form of a distributor’s deemed AER approved standard connection contract under section 75 is taken to be entered into, by the distributor and a large customer of a class to which the approved form applies, as set out in this section.
