91A—AEMC may make more preferred Rule in certain cases

The AEMC may make a Rule that is different (including materially different) from a market initiated proposed Rule (a "more preferable Rule") if the AEMC is satisfied that, having regard to the issue or issues that were raised by the market initiated proposed Rule (to which the more preferable Rule relates), the more preferable Rule will or is likely to better contribute to the achievement of the national electricity objective.

91B—AEMC may make Rules that are consequential to a Rule request

        (1)         Despite section 91(2), the AEMC may, having regard to a request to make a Rule under section 91(1), make a Rule that is necessary or consequential to the Rule that is to be made on that request.

        (2)         For the purposes of this Part, the AEMC must treat a Rule it may make under subsection (1) as if it were part of the Rule to be made on that request.
