(1)(a-b) The headwork charging policy used is the same headwork charging policy that has been used since 1992. This policy is the 20/80 policy. The policy applies to both country and metro customers on the South West Interconnected System. (2) The customer is charged under the 20/80 policy. Briefly, under this policy the customer will make a primary 20 per cent contribution towards the cost of the extension (less $2 500 if they are new customers) and depending on the anticipated energy consumption possibly a secondary contribution. The secondary contribution is determined from the anticipated first year's energy revenue. If the energy is less than the extension cost the customer will pay the difference. (3)(a) $4.6 million. (b) $3.8 million. (4)(a) $4.6 million (forecast). (b) $3.8 million (forecast).
