Common use of Chargeable Demand Clause in Contracts

Chargeable Demand. [New South Wales only] (a) This clause 4.5 applies to Delivery Points in New South Wales only. (b) The Customer acknowledges that the Network Operator may re-determine the Chargeable Demand that applies for a Delivery Point from time to time and, following notification by the Network Operator, AGL will notify the Customer of the revised Chargeable Demand which will apply and the date from which it is effective and the Network Charges passed through to the Customer will be varied accordingly. (c) Where the Customer experiences a permanent and material reduction in its requirements for gas supply at a Delivery Point, the Customer may apply for a reduction in the Chargeable Demand for that Delivery Point and must provide AGL with such information as AGL may reasonably require for it and the Network Operator to consider the application. (d) If the Network Operator agrees to a reduction in Chargeable Demand, then following notification by the Network Operator, AGL will notify the Customer of the reduced Chargeable Demand which will apply and the date from which it is effective. (e) Despite any reduction in Chargeable Demand, the Customer acknowledges that the Network Operator may subsequently increase the Chargeable Demand if there is an increase in the quantity of gas being withdrawn at the Delivery Point. (f) AGL may, in its absolute discretion, request the Network Operator to revise the MDQ to a level nominated by AGL which will most closely align with the Chargeable Demand from time to time and if the Network Operator agrees, AGL may by notice to the Customer and effective from the date specified in the notice vary the MDQ to equal the revised MDQ and vary the Monthly Fixed Charges and any terms and conditions as a consequence of the variation in the MDQ.
