Implementation of energy code reform: template code text
Proposed changes to template code text for the new code modification process, set up of the SAF, and expressions of interest for phase 2 code consolidation workshops.
Consultation description
We are seeking feedback on our draft template code text for the new modification process. We want your views to make sure it is clear, workable and aligns with the wider aims of energy code reform.
Feedback from our second consultation on the implementation of energy code reform broadly supported our proposals. People who responded also agreed on the need to modernise the current complex and fragmented code governance framework. The feedback received has helped refine the detailed design of the new arrangements. Get details by reading our code manager selection guidance.
We now want your views on the draft template code text and our stakeholder advisory forum arrangements.
Who should respond
We want to hear views and feedback from anyone who has an interest in energy code reform, as well as people who work in the energy sectors and the public. This includes:
- Code administrators
- Code parties
- Central system delivery bodies
- Consumer groups
