(b)

to re-make provisions about customer consultative committees for distribution network service providers and to establish distributor service standards,

(c)

to specify persons who may apply to the energy ombudsman for a review, including small customers in relation to disputes with exempt sellers, small customers in relation to disputes about obligations of retailers under State electricity and gas laws and regulated offer customers concerning regulated tariffs for gas or electricity. Disputes between customers and distribution network service providers concerning the solar bonus scheme may also be dealt with by the ombudsman,

(d)

A Code may require particular services to be provided by retailers, distribution network service providers or exempt persons at discount prices or free of charge and may also provide for the payment of Government subsidies that finance such charges to be paid to trust accounts. Any such Code must specify arrangements for the calculation and payment to the retailer, distribution network service provider or exempt person of the estimated efficient cost of complying with the Code,
