Minimalist Transitioning Approach for Ergon Energy
Under section 6 of the Electricity Industry Code, Ergon Energy is allowed to operate under a "minimalist transitioning approach" (MTA) when processing customer transfers and in the creation of certain National Meter Identifier (NMI) information.
The Queensland Competition Authority is required to annually review whether the MTA should remain in place. If the Authority considers that the provision should be removed, then the Authority must issue Ergon Energy with a notice to this effect. The provisions would cease to apply to Ergon Energy a year after such a notice was given.
On 9 April 2008, the Authority issued brief background paper inviting submissions from interested parties on this matter. The Authority received submissions from Ergon Energy, AGL and Aurora Energy.
The Authority has now completed its 2008 MTA review in accordance with clause 6.8.1(d) of the Code. After reviewing the information submitted by Ergon Energy and comments received from other stakeholders the Authority decided the MTA provisions should remain in force, to be reviewed again in 2009 in accordance with the Code.
All documents in relation to the Authority's 2008 review of Ergon Energy's MTA can be viewed below.
