The bill has four main purposes, which are: to provide for the establishment of a small electricity consumer advocacy agency and enable the levy on industry participants to recover the Government's costs relating to small electricity consumer advocacy; to remove ambiguity in relation to the ability of the Electricity Authority to amend the Electricity Industry Participation Code 2010, or the code, for the purpose of protecting household and small-business consumers; to provide more regulatory agility to promote competition and evolving contestable markets by shifting from the Act to the code a number of existing provisions relating to a distributor's involvement in generation or retailing activities; and to ensure that the code can regulate distribution access terms and conditions as it already does in relation to Transpower.
