The two amendments were to include a transition period for the Electricity Authority's additional objective and to allow for remote attendance at annual meetings of beneficiaries of energy trusts. Clause 9 of the bill inserts an additional objective for the Electricity Authority of protection of the interests of domestic consumers and small-business consumers in relation to the supply of electricity to those consumers. In order to allow sufficient time for the Electricity Authority to make the appropriate preparations for this change, including ensuring consistency between its current and new objectives, a four-month transition period has been added to the bill. Clause 9 is the only clause that is proposed to have a delayed commencement, with the remainder of the bill coming into force on the day after the date of Royal assent. The other amendment addresses a lack of clarity in the existing legislation about whether annual meetings of beneficiaries of consumer trusts with shareholdings in distribution companies are allowed to be held virtually. This amendment inserts a new clause 32A, which amends section 102 of the Act, which sets out the procedures for annual meetings to appoint an auditor.
