[(1) deleted]
A supplier is required to offer to supply gas to each of its existing standard contract customers under the terms of the customer’s existing contract but at a capped tariff unless the existing contract already entitles the customer to be supplied at a capped tariff.
In subregulation (2) —
existing standard contract customer means a small use customer who is supplied with gas under a contract that, under section 25(1) of the Gas Corporation (Business Disposal) Act 1999, the customer is to be regarded as having entered into.
When offering to supply gas to a new customer under a standard form contract, a supplier is required to offer to supply gas at a capped tariff.
In subregulation (4) —
new customer means a small use customer to whom a supplier offers to supply gas for the supply of which the customer does not already have a contract;
standard form contract has the meaning given in section 11WB of the Act.
This regulation does not prevent the supplier and customer from agreeing to charges or other terms and conditions that are different from those required by this regulation to be offered.
