Default Distributor Agreement
The Default Distributor Agreement is an agreement with each of the retailers on our network that sets out the terms on which each retailer can use the network to supply electricity to its customers.
From 15 February 2021, our network delivery services are provided under a Default Distributor Agreement (DDA) prepared in accordance with a template regulated by the Electricity Authority.
The DDA has now been amended in accordance with amendments to Part 12A of the Electricity Industry Participation Code (Code) that entered into force on 25 November 2024.
1. New DDA applicable to retailers that apply to use Network Waitaki's network for supply of electricity after 25 November 2024: Please note that in accordance with clause 12B recorded terms in Schedules 1 and 5 have been removed. These terms will be reviewed and will become operational terms once we review operational terms in accordance with the Code provisions in Schedule 12A.4

Please note that the recorded terms in Schedules 1 and 5 are still included in this DDA but will become operational terms once reviewed in accordance with Code provisions in Schedule 12A.4 (clauses 12 and 13)
