136A Prohibition against increasing charges to subsidise particular development
(1) This section applies to a service provider for a transmission pipeline, other than a pipeline within a declared transmission system.
(2) The service provider must not increase a charge for a pipeline service payable by an existing user to the service provider to subsidise the development of an extension, or expansion of the capacity, of the pipeline.
(3) However, subsection (2) does not apply to a service provider if the service provider is exempt from complying with subsection (2) under the Rules.
(4) Nothing in this section prevents a service provider from charging an existing user of the service provider for pipeline services provided by means of an extension, or expansion of the capacity, of a pipeline.
