25 Customer connection contracts—standard connection contracts

(1) This section applies if, immediately before the commencement, a customer who owns or occupies premises and a distributor were parties to a pre-NERL standard connection contract for the premises (the
"relevant premises" ).

(2) On the commencement, the pre-NERL standard connection contract is replaced with a contract between the customer and distributor in the form of the distributor’s NERL standard connection contract.

Note—

See the Electricity Act, section 346 for the connection of the premises.

(3) The NERL (Qld) applies to the contract in the same way as it applies to a NERL standard connection contract for a distributor.

(4) In this section—

"NERL standard connection contract" , for a distributor, means—

(a) if the distributor has a deemed AER approved standard connection contract under the NERL (Qld) , section 75 and the customer falls within at least 1 of the classes to which the contract applies—the form of the deemed AER approved standard connection contract; or

(b) otherwise—the form of the distributor’s deemed standard connection contract under the NERL (Qld) , section 69 .

"pre-NERL standard connection contract" means a standard connection contract under the Electricity Act as in force before the commencement.
