The draft GPS of September 2003 required the Electricity Commission (EC) to prepare, in consultation with the Ministry of Consumer Affairs and consumer representatives, minimum terms and conditions for contracts with domestic consumers. The MARIA Governance Board (MGB) initially assumed responsibility for developing the Model Retail Contracts and it established the Model Retail Contract Project Team (MRCPT) in July 2003 to progress the work. As agreed with the EC, the MRCPT ceased work on the Model Retail Contracts in May 2004 and the MGB forwarded the MRCPT’s output to the EC to progress.

The Electricity Commission has now completed its work on the Model Retail Contracts and invites submissions from interested parties.

Submissions are sought by 26 October 2004. Comments should preferably be sent by e-mail, to:
