Good Electricity Industry Practice and liability Sample Clauses

Good Electricity Industry Practice and liability. Currently the general obligations section in the draft DDA (clause 2.1) states that the purpose of the clause is intended to provide an overview of each party’s obligations under this agreement and does not impose any legal obligations on either party. In the comparable clauses in both Unison and Vector negotiated contracts (clauses 2.1 and 2.2), the services and obligations of the trader and distributor are framed with reference to Good Electricity Industry Practice. The obligations are symmetrical, applying to both the trader and distributor. Greater certainty in the obligations of traders and distributors is a benefit to consumers. The reference to Good Electricity Industry Practice in the listing of services and obligations provides a comprehensive cover for all the services and obligations in the agreement. Good Electricity Industry Practice is a well-known and defined term that provides a reference and boundary for standards and operations. This helps to provide a framework for determining liability in the industry. The term Good Electricity Industry Practice is referred to certain clauses in the draft DDA but a more comprehensive and certain approach would be to refer to it in the general obligation section at the start of the DDA. The benefits of greater certainty by referencing Good Electricity Industry Practice accrue to the trader and distributor. The draft DDA is intended to be a default agreement but in effect becomes a mandated agreement in the sense that it is compulsory for such an agreement to be available for adoption if an alternative agreement cannot be negotiated. As such it appears that the term ‘will’ that was used in the voluntary MUoSA is replaced by the term ‘must’. The use of the term ‘must’ indicates that an obligation is imposed on a party (rather than a voluntary agreement). Overall this creates stronger obligations on parties to comply with the DDA where it is taken up. The stronger obligation may have repercussions on liability of parties. While this is a legal question and beyond the scope of this analysis it may have repercussions on liability and insurance costs.
