Queensland Consolidated Acts Queensland Consolidated Acts(1) This section applies if an on-supply agreement for the supply and sale of electricity between an on-supplier and a receiver is in force.
(2) The receiver may, at any time--
(a) elect, by written notice to the on-supplier, to be charged on the basis of the receiver's consumption of electricity supplied from the on-supplier, as measured by a meter; and
(b) install the meter, at the receiver's expense.
(3) However, the election has effect only if the installation is done in a way--
(a) that complies with any reasonable written directions the on-supplier gives the receiver within 5 business days after the giving of the notice; or
(b) if no written directions are given within the 5 business days--that is reasonable.
(4) In deciding what is reasonable for subsection (3), regard must be had to the interests of the on-supplier and anyone who is an occupier of the on-supplier's premises.
