Essential Services and Minimal Load Guidelines
These Guidelines are not required under the Regulations. Gas Industry Co intends to use the Guidelines as a means of ensuring a consistent approach to designations in respect of large consumers and in considering designation disputes from consumers generally. Although the Guidelines do not have any particular status under the Regulations, it is hoped that retailers will perceive value in the Guidelines when processing applications from their customers. In this way, classifications could be expected to be reasonably consistent across retailers. Please note these Guidelines are not legally binding and need to be read in conjunction with the Regulations. The general approach set out in these Guidelines in no way reduces the requirement upon participants to know and comply with their obligations under the Regulations.
