Finally, I wanted to highlight some of the other provisions included in this bill which will help ensure an effective regulatory framework for the electricity industry in view of rapidly evolving technologies and business models. Clause 9 of the bill gives the Electricity Authority the additional objective of protecting the interests of household and small-business consumers in their dealings with industry participants. Despite the reference to the benefit of consumers in the authority's objective, there is uncertainty regarding the extent to which the code may include provisions to protect the interests of small consumers in their dealings with industry participants. Protecting small consumers is intended to be a relevant consideration for a relatively small portion of the Electricity Authority's work. It is expected to come into play only when the Electricity Authority is considering the conduct of retailers and other participants that deal directly with small consumers where there is an imbalance of power in those dealings that can result in adverse outcomes for small consumers.
