Electricity Act 1994

QCA may give the proposed code contravention notice if—

the electricity entity or retailer has not complied with the warning notice; and

after complying with section 120U, QCA still believes the code contravention notice ought to be given.

The code contravention notice must state—

that the electricity entity or retailer—

has contravened, or is contravening, a distribution network code; or

is likely to contravene a distribution network code; and

the contravention or likely contravention is, or is likely to be, a material contravention of the code; and

particulars of the contravention or likely contravention.

Subsection (4) applies if the warning notice was given on the basis of a contravention of the distribution network code and the electricity entity or retailer—

has taken steps reasonably necessary to remedy the contravention; but

has not given the conduct assurance required under the warning notice.

QCA may give the code contravention notice on the basis that the electricity entity or retailer is still involved in an activity that is, or is likely to result in, a material contravention of the distribution network code.
