54V: Impact of certain decisions made under Electricity Industry Act 2010

You could also call this:

"Rules about how electricity decisions affect your power supply"

Illustration for Commerce Act 1986

The Electricity Authority must talk to the Commission before changing the Electricity Industry Participation Code in a way that affects the Commission's work with electricity lines services. You need to know that the Commission is a group that helps make sure electricity services are fair and good. The Electricity Authority must also tell the Commission about any changes that might affect their work.

When the Electricity Authority makes changes to the Code, or makes decisions under it, they must tell the Commission if it might affect electricity lines services. The Commission must think about these changes when making decisions about electricity lines services. This includes thinking about how much electricity lines services cost, and how good the services are.

The Commission must also consider the levy payable by a supplier of electricity lines services under section 128 of the Electricity Industry Act 2010, and the rules about keeping the electricity supply going under section 105 of the Electricity Industry Act 2010. If the Electricity Authority asks, the Commission must reconsider a section 52P decision and change it if needed, to take into account any important matters.
