Dear Sir/Madam
Request for revocation of authorisations A91390 & A91391 granted to Energy
Assured Limited - determination
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (the ACCC) has issued a
determination in respect of the request from Energy Assured Limited (Energy Assured)
for the revocation of authorisations A91390 & A91391.
Authorisations A91390 & A91391 were granted in to Energy Assured and its members
for a scheme to self regulate door to door energy sales undertaken on behalf of
electricity and gas retailers.
For the reasons set out in its determination, the ACCC has decided to grant the
request for revocation. A copy of the ACCC’s determination is posted on the ACCC
internet site at www.accc.gov.au/AuthorisationsRegister.
Application for review
Pursuant to section 101 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010, a person
dissatisfied with this determination may apply to the Australian Competition Tribunal
for its review. An application for review must be made within 21 days of the date of
this determination; that is, on or before 3 June 2015. If no application to review is
lodged by this date, the ACCC’s determination will come into force on 4 June 2015.
An application for review of the ACCC's determination should be lodged directly with
the Australian Competition Tribunal. The Australian Competition Tribunal is a separate
