(a) as soon as reasonably practicable, publish a notice setting out that rate and issue that notice to every electricity supplier who has a BM Unit registered as at the day before the date of publication of the notice; and
(b) issue that notice to every electricity supplier who has a BM Unit that becomes registered on or after the date of publication of the notice and by the last day of the quarterly obligation period to which that rate applies, as soon as reasonably practicable after the BM Unit is registered.
