The first phase entailed the inspection of premises. Inspections will be ongoing if and when more consumers register- inspections are currently up to date with those registered with Energy Safety, the cost of which has been approximately 4 million on services including investigation services, initial communications and associated activities.
Phase two commenced in May 2011 and entails a further communication strategy, prioritisation and rectification activities.
