📘 Electricity Industry Amendment (Capital Charges) Act 2026
012 of 2026Assented 19 August 2026
This Act establishes a Capital Charges Scheme within the Electricity Industry Act 2004 to support connections to certain transmission systems. It introduces capital charges for access to services provided by network service providers and includes mechanisms to ensure revenue neutrality for providers.
Impact
Network service providers operating transmission systems will need to implement new capital charge schemes and adjustment mechanisms. Persons accessing services on these networks will be subject to new capital charges, increasing certainty for charges but potentially altering costs for connection or modification of access agreements.
