Energy Operators (Electricity Generation and Retail Corporation) (Charges) Amendment By-laws 2016
Delegated Legislation Committee (2001 - 2017)· 17 November 2016general_report
The WA Parliamentary Delegated Legislation Committee reviewed the Energy Operators (Electricity Generation and Retail Corporation) (Charges) Amendment By-laws 2016. The committee found that the increased fee for overdue account notices (from $4.75 to $5.50) over-recovers the cost of providing the service, effectively acting as an unauthorized tax. The committee recommended disallowing the by-law amendment.
Impact
Electricity customers in Western Australia who receive overdue account notices will be affected. If disallowed, the fee would revert to its previous level, though the committee notes that even the original fee over-recovers costs.
