Electricity Market Competition and Deregulation in Brisbane

Ever since the late 1990s the Australia electricity market in has been undergoing a deregulation process. The first stage of deregulation was the establishing of an intra-state electricity network that allowed electricity that was produced in one state to be sold in another state.

The next step, which happened sooner in some states, was the dividing up of the state owned electricity monopolies into competing entities, then privatising them. In order to produce a greater degree of competition the energy market was separated into two types of entities

Distributors have the responsibility for the delivery of electricity to customers' premises , and they own and manage the poles and powerlines, and do not deal with customers.

The retailers have all the interactions with the customer. They sell the electricity and issue bills. The states have from 1 to 3 distributors but up to thirty retailers.

In July 2016 , the Brisbane electricity market was fully deregulated. This meant that consumers could, for the first time, switch to a provider who had cheaper electricity prices.

Tips to reduce electricity usage to save money

Here is a list of easily implemented ways to reduce how much electricity you use

• Eliminate draughts. Prevent hot or cold air entering or escaping through the gaps under doors and around your windows through the use of door snakes and gap seal tape.
• Reduce usage of your clothes dryer. Instead, dry your clothes outside or alternatively, use an indoor clothing rack.
• Rather than turn on the heater, wear warmer clothing (jumper, beanie, warm socks, booties).
• Turn all your appliances off at the power point when they're not in use.
• Use a hot water bottle as a cheap alternative to an electric blanket.
• Stop the hot sun over-heating your house by closing the curtains and blinds in rooms that are exposed to the heat of direct sunlight.
• Close doors of rooms that you aren't using, so that you just heat or cool a smaller area.
• Reduce the use of air conditioning by opening your windows in the evening let the cooler air in, and then shutting them each morning to keep the hot air out.
• Reduce the use of lights. Use natural lighting where possible, and replace old lights with more efficient LED lights.
