National Energy Retail Law (Queensland)

This section applies where a distributor and a small customer negotiate and enter into a customer connection contract (a negotiated connection contract) in accordance with the relevant requirements of—

in the case of electricity—Chapter 5A of the NER; or

in the case of gas—Part 12A of the NGR,

The distributor must provide—

information relating to the small customer’s right to have a deemed standard connection contract under Division 4; and

an explanation of—

the differences between the terms and conditions of the proposed negotiated connection contract and the terms and conditions of a deemed standard connection contract; and

the implications of those differences.

A negotiated connection contract operates to the exclusion of provisions of a deemed standard connection contract dealing with the same matters.
