Commission may issue notice to aid prevention of price exploitation in relation to the carbon tax repeal

  (1)   The Commission may give an entity a written notice under this section if the Commission considers that doing so will aid the prevention of the entity engaging in price exploitation in relation to the carbon tax repeal.

  (b)   be expressed to relate to any supply that the entity makes that is:

  (i)   of a kind specified in the notice; and

  (ii)   made in circumstances specified in the notice; and

  (iii)   made during the period specified in the notice (which must not be a period ending after the end of the carbon tax repeal transition period); and
