Electricity Supply Act 1995

A scheme participant must calculate the scheme participant’s individual liable use for a compliance period, which is the total value of the liable uses of gas for the scheme participant for the previous year.

The use of gas by a scheme participant who is a gas retailer is a liable use if the gas is conveyed to a retail customer using a relevant pipeline under a contract with the scheme participant.

The use of gas by a scheme participant who is an end user is a liable use if—

the scheme participant produced the gas, or

the gas is conveyed to the scheme participant using a relevant pipeline or otherwise conveyed to the scheme participant.

A use of gas is not a liable use for a scheme participant if the gas is a liable use for a scheme participant who is lower down the chain of supply of gas.

If the gas used by a scheme participant has green hydrogen or renewable methane as a component of the gas, the green hydrogen or renewable methane component is not included in the scheme participant’s liable use.

For the purposes of this Part—

a liable use specified in subclause (2) is a liable use for a scheme participant on the date on which the gas is used by the retail customer, and

a liable use specified in subclause (3) is a liable use for a scheme participant on the date on which the gas is used by the scheme participant, and

the value of a use of gas is the amount of gas used, expressed in gigajoules.

The scheme rules may make further provision in relation to determining when a use of gas is taken to be a liable use for a scheme participant, for the purposes of determining the scheme participant’s individual liable use.

This clause is subject to Division 3.

In this clause—

a pipeline licensed under the Pipelines Act 1967, Part 3, or

a distribution pipeline within the meaning of the Gas Supply Act 1996.
