144: Exemptions granted under Electricity Industry Reform Act 1998

You could also call this:

“Special allowances for electricity companies carry on under the new law”

If the Commerce Commission gave someone permission to not follow a rule under the Electricity Industry Reform Act 1998, that permission still works. It’s like the Electricity Authority gave the permission under the new law. This permission keeps working until someone cancels it or it runs out.

The Electricity Authority has to put these special permissions on a list. This list is for everyone to see. They have to do this because the law says so.
