NATIONAL ELECTRICITY (NEW SOUTH WALES) ACT 1997 - NOTES

- As at 22 December 1999 - Act 20 of 1997

Preamble

A National Grid Management Council was formed following decisions of Special Premiers’ Conferences in October 1990 and July 1991.
The National Grid Management Council has developed plans for a co-ordinated electricity market spanning the eastern States, South Australia and the Australian Capital Territory.
The Council of Australian Governments agreed in February 1994 to recommendations for regulatory arrangements for the national electricity market consistent with reforms of competition policy.
The regulatory arrangements include regulation of certain elements of the operation of the market by way of a code of conduct that is subject to authorisation under the Trade Practices Act 1974 of the Commonwealth.
The States of New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland and South Australia and the Australian Capital Territory have agreed to the enactment of legislation in the several jurisdictions for the implementation of the regulatory arrangements.

The Legislature of New South Wales enacts:
