Authorisations - Endorsements on Gas Supplier's Authorisation

Endorsements are separate instruments that can be attached to a gas supplier authorisation. Currently there are two types of endorsements that have been made by the Minister:

• Standard retail supplier's endorsement. Attachment of this endorsement makes the authorisation holder a standard retail supplier for a specified supply district with all the rights and obligations that this entails. For example, a person within a standard retail supplier's supply district may apply to the standard retail supplier to be supplied with gas under terms and conditions that are set out in regulated standard supply contracts.
• Retailer of Last Resort (RoLR) endorsement. A RoLR is a supplier that may have customers transfer to it from another supplier that, for example, may have become insolvent.

An endorsement can be transferred by the Minister to another authorisation holder without impacting other conditions of the authorisation.

Currently, the following authorisation holders have been endorsed as standard suppliers and retailers of last resort:

• AGL Retail Energy limited
• ActewAGL Retail
• Country Energy
• Energex Retail Pty Limited
• Origin Energy LPG Limited
