Standard Customer Contracts
A customer is generally considered to be a 'small customer' if they consume less than 100 megawatt hours of electricity per annum.
The Standard Retail Contract (SRC) (PDF 160kb) is made under the Act and contains the terms and conditions prescribed in section 52 of the Act. The SRC applies to small customers who have not entered into a negotiated retail contract and, in accordance with the Act, will apply without the need for Ergon Energy or the customer to sign a document containing the terms and conditions. The SRC sets out the current terms and conditions for Ergon Energy to provide retail services to our small customers.
Similarly, the Act sets out the terms of the Standard Connection Contract (SCC) (PDF 171kb) which applies to customers who have not entered into a negotiated connection contract and, in accordance with the Act, will apply without the need for Ergon Energy or the customer to sign a document containing the terms and conditions. The SCC sets out the terms and conditions by which Ergon Energy will connect and supply electricity to customers in its distribution area.
