Default Agreement for Distribution ServicesDistribution Agreement • February 4th, 2021
Contract Type FiledFebruary 4th, 2021The Electricity Authority (Authority) has issued a consultation on adopting a default agreement for distribution services. The consultation proposes to introduce a default Use of System Agreement (UoSA) for all distributors using interposed distribution arrangements. Each distributor would be required to develop a “default distributor agreement” (DDA) using prescribed core terms, with operational terms in the DDA being required to comply with prescribed principles. The Authority proposes to implement its proposal by replace Part 12A of the Electricity Industry Participation Code (the Code) in its entirety and publishing a template for the DDA which must be used by each distributor.
