Electricity Supply (General) Regulation 2014

This clause modifies the National Electricity Rules to give effect to this Part.

The National Electricity Rules do not apply to a network service provider to the extent required to—

reduce the charges payable by a relevant customer to a network service provider in order to comply with clause 65E, and

recover the equivalent of the green hydrogen shortfall from customers who are not relevant customers.

A transmission network service provider may recover a green hydrogen shortfall from the provider’s transmission customers, other than relevant customers, through charges for either or both of the following—

the adjusted non-locational component for prescribed TUOS services,

prescribed common transmission services.

The transmission network service provider may only recover the green hydrogen shortfall under subclause (2) in accordance with the co-ordinating network service provider’s or transmission network service provider’s pricing methodology, as the case requires.

A distribution network service provider may recover a green hydrogen shortfall from the provider’s distribution customers, other than relevant customers, through charges for standard control services or designated pricing proposal charges.

In this clause—

an approved customer, but only in relation to the amount of electricity used by the approved customer to produce green hydrogen, or

a retailer, if an approved customer contracts with the retailer for the supply of electricity to the customer to produce green hydrogen, but only in relation to the amount of electricity used by the approved customer to produce green hydrogen.
