charge—electricity
(1)
The maximum service availability charge payable,
in respect of any period, by a home owner to the operator for the supply of
electricity at a residential site is the amount that would have been payable
for the period if the electricity had been supplied to a small customer under
a standard retail contract of the applicable local area retailer at standing
offer prices.
(2)
Despite subclause (1), the service availability
charge payable by a home owner to an operator of a community for supply at a
residential site of less than 60 amps of electricity is to be discounted in
accordance with subclause (3).
(3)
The maximum service availability charge payable
by a home owner to an operator for supply at a residential site of less than
60 amps of electricity is—
(a)
if less than 20 amps of electricity is supplied
to the residential site—20 per cent of the service availability charge
that would apply if the home owner were a small customer under a standard
retail contract of the applicable local area retailer, or
(b)
if 20 amps or more but less than 30 amps of
electricity is supplied to the residential site—50 per cent of that
service availability charge, or
(c)
if 30 amps or more but less than 60 amps of
electricity is supplied to the residential site—70 per cent of that
service availability charge.
(4)
In this clause, local area retailer,
small customer, standard retail
contract and standing offer
prices have the same meanings as in the National Energy Retail Law
(NSW).
