SLIDE 6 Power of Choice – Metering Competition REMAINING QUESTIONS/FEEDBACK Can an obligation on the MC under rule be passed on to a service provider? At some point we need to consider what will happen when the DB undertakes a site visit for a faulty type 5/6 meter. It is unlikely that the MC will have sufficient afterhours people on call (who can reach each site) - customers cannot be left off supply (e.g. especially life support, sensitive load etc.) – so what will happen? Diagram 3 should recognise billing process between MC and the DNSP/Other Authorised Parties for services

SLIDE 7 Power of Choice – Metering Competition 7. PROCESS FLOWS FOR SERVICES Business process maps for the following services have been updated based on the participant feedback collected during and after the previous workshop: o New Connections (Not NSW) o New Connections (NSW) o Manual Re-energisation and De-energisation o Remote Reconnection and Disconnection This is only a draft version of the process maps to stimulate discussion in the workshop to be able to identify changes to roles and retail market business processes as a consequence of the MC rule change.
