Gladstone Power Station Joint Venture

Rio Tinto is seeking minor variations under section 91A of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (the CCA) to authorisations A91205-A91207 which authorised a number of electricity supply agreements involving the Boyne Island aluminium smelter.  The minor variations are proposed to allow amendments to the relevant authorised agreements in response to the change to a five minute settlement period under the National Electricity Rules.

Further detail on the proposed minor variation is available under the Application heading below.

The ACCC is currently seeking submissions in relation to Rio Tinto’s request for minor variation by 8 October 2021.

A timetable is also set out below for your information.
