54J: Section 52P determinations setting out default price-quality paths applying from 1 April 2009

You could also call this:

"Rules for electricity line prices and quality from 1 April 2009"

Illustration for Commerce Act 1986

If you supply electricity lines services and are subject to default or customised price-quality regulation from 1 April 2009, this section applies to you. You will have thresholds that are like default price-quality paths, and these will apply until 31 March 2010. These thresholds must comply with section 52P and section 53O.

If you break a default price-quality path before 31 March 2010, it will be dealt with under section 54N, not under Part 6. This section does not change how sections 54N and 54O work.

You should note that the thresholds were notified in the Gazette under section 52P(7)(b) at least 4 months before 1 April 2009, and they must follow the rules set out in section 52P and section 53O.
