New South Wales Consolidated Regulations

GAS SUPPLY (NATURAL GAS RETAIL COMPETITION) REGULATION 2001 - REG 89

89 Payment plans for all suppliers

(1) Suppliers are required to comply with clause 13A on and from the date that is 3 months after the commencement of the Gas Supply (Natural Gas Retail Competition) Amendment Regulation 2007 or on and from a later date determined by the Minister and notified to suppliers.

(2) The amendments made to clause 15 of Schedule 1 by the Gas Supply (Natural Gas Retail Competition) Amendment Regulation 2007 , so far as they relate to payment plans, do not apply in respect of suppliers until suppliers are required to comply with clause 13A.

(3) However the provisions of this Regulation relating to payment plans, as in force immediately before the commencement of the Gas Supply (Natural Gas Retail Competition) Amendment Regulation 2007 , continue to apply to standard suppliers until the date that suppliers are required to comply with clause 13A.

Note: Clause 13A requires all suppliers to operate a payment plan. Standard suppliers were already required to operate a payment plan under clause 6 of this Regulation before its repeal and replacement by clause 13A and will continue to be required to operate those payment plans until all suppliers are required to comply with new clause 13A. It will also be necessary for those standard suppliers to re-submit their payment plans to the Minister for approval in order to comply with new clause 13A.
