The Commission has received an application from Discovery Holiday Parks Pty Ltd for a distribution and retail exemption. The applicant is seeking to be exempt from the requirement to hold a licence for the operation of a small-scale distribution network at the Wilpena Pound Resort, Wilpena Road, Hawker SA 5434.
In assessing an electricity distribution and retail exemption application, the Commission considers the application against the relevant provisions set out in the Electricity Act 1996. It will also have regard to its primary objective under the Essential Services Commission Act 2002, being the protection of the long-term interests of South Australian consumers with respect to the price, quality and reliability of essential services, and other factors as they apply to the Commission's role as an economic regulator of the South Australian electricity industry.
In making its assessment, the Commission considers advice from the Office of the Technical Regulator. Matters related to health and environmental protection are regulated under separate legislative frameworks.
The application is subject to a public consultation period closing on 19 July 2024. The Commission welcomes submissions on any matters relevant to the application.
