Electricity Act 1994

This section applies if—

before the commencement, a customer and a distribution entity—

are taken to have entered into a standard connection contract under section 40DB as in force immediately before the commencement; or

have entered into a negotiated connection contract under section 40DC as in force immediately before the commencement; and

at the commencement, the customer’s premises are not physically connected to the distribution entity’s supply network.

Sections 40E, 40H and 41 and the Electricity Regulation 2006, section 34, as in force immediately before the commencement, to the extent they apply to the construction of a new connection, continue to apply to the construction of the connection.

However, chapter 5A of the National Electricity Rules does not apply to the construction of the connection.
