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.
