This part of the law explains some important words and phrases used in the Electricity Industry Act 2010. You need to know these meanings to understand the law better.

The ‘commencement date’ is when this part of the law starts to work.

The ‘Electricity Commission’ is a group that was set up by another law called the Electricity Act 1992.

‘Property’ means all kinds of things that people can own, including money and different ways of owning things.

A ‘suitable alternative position’ for a worker means a job that fits their skills and experience. The pay and conditions of this new job should be at least as good as their old job.

A ‘transferred employee’ is someone who used to work for the Electricity Commission just before this law started, and then moved to work for the Authority because of this law.

These meanings help everyone understand what the law is talking about when it uses these words.
