On 18 March 2010, the Commission gave notice under section 95 of the NEL commencing consultation on the Rule change proposal from the South Australian Minister for Energy. The Commission considers that the Rule change request is a request for a non-controversial Rule in accordance to section 96 of the NEL.

The proposal will therefore be assessed via the expedited process set out in section 96 of the NEL, subject to written objections. Written objections to the proposal being treated as non-controversial are due by 1 April 2010. Written submissions and comments on the Rule change proposal are due by 15 April 2010.
