The timeframe for making a draft determination and, if needed, a draft rule in relation to the rule change request on using estimated reads for customer transfers has been extended to 27 October 2016 under section 107 of the National Electricity Law and section 266 of the National Energy Retail Law.

This extension of time is required as a result of the complexity of the issues raised by the rule change request, leading to the need to consult with stakeholders on alternative policy options and implementation costs.
