Good electricity industry practice
28 Good electricity industry practice
Good electricity industry practice means the exercise of that degree of skill, diligence, prudence and foresight that reasonably would be expected from a significant proportion of operators of facilities forming part of a power system for the generation, transmission or supply of electricity under conditions comparable to those applicable to the relevant facility consistent with applicable laws, these regulations, the Technical Code, licences, codes, reliability, safety and environmental protection.
The determination of comparable conditions for the purposes of subregulation (1) is to take into account factors such as the relative size, function, age and technological status of the relevant facility and the applicable laws, these regulations, the Technical Code, licences and codes.
A corporation must comply with good electricity industry practice when providing access services and in planning, operating, maintaining, developing and augmenting the electricity transmission network.
A user must comply with good electricity industry practice in operating, maintaining, constructing and commissioning plant or equipment connected to the electricity transmission network or in transferring electricity to or taking electricity from the electricity transmission network.
