Retailer agreements

Orion provides the electricity delivery service to electricity retailers under various agreements:

• prior to 2021, delivery services were provided under a range of “delivery services agreements” (DSA).
• from 2021, delivery services are provided under a default distributor agreement (DDA) prepared in accordance with a template regulated by the Electricity Authority, and the current version can be viewed here.
