- W173744859 abstract "Restructuring of utility industries in Australia has been underway since the early 1990s in response to the National Competition Policy reform process. The process commits Commonwealth, State and Territory Governments to a number of initiatives, including structural reform of public utilities and providing open access to significant infrastructure facilities that meet criteria specified in the Competition Principles Agreement (National Competition Council, 1995). Essential to this process was the addition of Part IIIA to the Trade Practices Act 1974 (TPA), which facilitates a regime for open access to essential infrastructure facilities. Western Australia is a signatory to the reform process, initiated restructuring of its electricity industry in the early 1990s, and has had an open access regime in place since 1997 which enables Independent Power Producers (IPPs) to access the transmission and distribution network of the State-owned utility (Western Power). Vertical disaggregation of the industry has not yet occurred, and Western Power is largely responsible for developing, administering and regulating the access regime, as well as being the dominant generator and retailer in Western Australia. It has been argued that the existing open access regime (particularly its lack of an independent regulator) supports the dominant position of Western Power and has not led to increased competition. In January 2001 one IPP sought a ruling under Part IIIA that would require access arrangements to be negotiated through independent arbitration rather than through the existing access regime. In response, Western Power argued that electricity networks in a vertically integrated utility are an integral part of the production process and therefore beyond the jurisdiction the TPA. The two parties reached a negotiated settlement which prevented a judicial testing of Western Power’s claims about the electricity production process which bring into question the cornerstone of the open access regime with respect to the electricity industry. It thus leaves open a larger question of whether Part IIIA can deal adequately with open access in an industry, such as electricity, where the essential facility cannot be clearly identified, and the services provided by it cannot be clearly separated from other parts of the industry. This paper examines the reform process and the importance of Part IIIA of the TPA. It uses a Western Australian case study to discuss the usefulness of this part of the legislation and suggests that the case put forward by Western Power" @default.
