Electricity Distribution Access Order 2001
This order may be cited as the Electricity Distribution Access Order 2001.
This order comes into operation on 1 January 2002.
In this order, unless the contrary intention appears —
“access” means access to spare capacity and new capacity;
“distribution employee” has the same meaning as it has in the Electricity Distribution Regulations 1997;
“distribution exit point”, in relation to an existing or prospective user, means a distribution exit point within the meaning of the Electricity Distribution Regulations 1997 to which the user wants electricity to be transported;
“network access” means access to spare capacity and new capacity of the interconnected network as defined in the Electricity Distribution Regulations 1997;
“proposed access day”, in relation to an existing or prospective user, means the day on and from which the user wants access, network access, or regional system access, as the case requires, to be made available;
“regional system” means any part of the electricity distribution system identified as a regional power isolated system on the depiction prepared and maintained under regulation 5(2) of the Electricity Distribution Regulations 1997;
“regional system access” means access to spare capacity and new capacity of a regional system;
“relevant period” means the period of 12 months beginning on the proposed access day;
“renewable source” means a source of energy that is not derived from a fossil fuel or a man‑made nuclear fission process.
Under clause 2(1) of Schedule 6 to the Act, the corporation is to make available network access to an existing or prospective user for the transport of electricity if that user is able to demonstrate, to the reasonable satisfaction of a distribution employee, that the amount of electricity transported to each distribution exit point in the relevant period —
(a)will be at least 2 000 megawatt hours, if the proposed access day is on or after 1 January 2002 but before 1 January 2003; or
(b)will be at least 300 megawatt hours, if the proposed access day is on or after 1 January 2003.
Under clause 2(1) of Schedule 6 to the Act, the corporation is to make available regional system access to an existing or prospective user for the transport of electricity if that user is able to demonstrate, to the reasonable satisfaction of a distribution employee, that the amount of electricity transported to each distribution exit point in the relevant period will be at least 300 megawatt hours.
Despite anything in clause 4 or 5, under clause 2(1) of Schedule 6 to the Act, the corporation is to make available access to an existing or prospective user for the transport of electricity generated from a renewable source if that user is able to demonstrate, to the reasonable satisfaction of a distribution employee, that the amount of electricity to be transported to each distribution exit point in the relevant period will be at least 50 megawatt hours.
