59: Effect of suspension and termination orders

You could also call this:

“What happens when someone breaks electricity industry rules and gets suspended or kicked out”

When someone in the electricity industry breaks the rules, they might get a suspension order or a termination order. These orders affect their rights under the electricity industry rules, which are called the Code.

If you get a suspension order, some or all of your rights under the Code will be paused for a while. The order will say which rights are suspended and for how long. It might also have some conditions you need to follow.

A termination order is more serious. It takes away some or all of your rights under the Code permanently.

Even if you get a termination order, you still have to pay any money you owed under the Code before you got the order. The order doesn’t cancel those debts.
