Electricity Supply Industry Act 1995

An electricity entity may enter into a contract for the supply of electricity to a customer to which this section applies – on conditions prohibiting or restricting the re-supply of the electricity; or on conditions providing for price discrimination according to whether the electricity is, or is not, to be re-supplied.

This section applies to a customer who has contractual rights (which may be aggregate rights arising under 2 or more separate contracts) to draw electricity from a power system at a rate of 50 megawatts or above.

For the purposes of section 51 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 of the Commonwealth and the Competition Code, a contractual condition under subsection (1), and anything done to enforce compliance with the condition, are authorised by this Act.

This section does not apply to a contract of a kind referred to in subsection (1) entered into by an electricity entity on or after 1 July 2001.
