A transitional exemption application under the Switching Rules had been received from Nova Gas Ltd. An exemption until 30 September 2009 was sought from the application of rule 41 to consumer installations on bypass networks. Rule 41 requires that distributors enter ICP information into the registry prior to go-live. The alternative arrangement proposed is that all consumer installations on each bypass network are represented by a single notional ICP. During the term of the exemption Nova Gas propose that the substantive issues relating to the inclusion of bypass networks under both the Switching Rules and the Downstream Reconciliation Rules should be examined.
