Changes focused on modernizing the Ts&Cs will address elements such as grid modernization efforts and different loads in isolated communities.
Proposed updates will also create clarity in existing sections to better provide guidance to customers and the utilities.
It has been over 10 years since the last update to the Ts&Cs, maximum investment levels and the fees schedule under which the Utilities provide service today.
