Electricity Market Deregulation and Competition in Brisbane

Since the late 1990s the electricity market in Australia's Eastern and Southern states has been undergoing a gradual process of deregulation. The first step was the establishing of an intra-state electricity network that enabled electricity that is produced in one state to be delivered to customers in another state.

The next stage, which occurred earlier in some states than others, was the splitting up of state owned monopolies into competing entities, then privatising them. In order to promote a greater level of competition the market was divided into two types of entities

The distributors are responsible for the actual delivery of electricity to customers' premises , and they own and maintain the powerlines and poles, and do not deal with customers.

The electricity retailers are the ones who sell the electricity to the customers and manage the billing. Each state has from 1 to 3 distributors but up to thirty retailers.

In July 2016 , Brisbane 's energy market was fully deregulated. This meant that, for the first time, customers could switch to a provider that offered the cheapest electricity prices.

Tips to lower your electricity consumption to save money

Here is a list of easy to implement ways to reduce your expenditure on electricity

• A cheap alternative to an electric blanket is a hot water bottle.
• Turn off all appliances at the power point when you're not using them.
• Eliminate draughts. Stop cold air or hot air getting in or getting out through the gaps under doors or around your windows by using door snakes and gap seal tape.
• Rather than turn on the heater, dress for cold weather (warm socks, booties, beanie, jumper).
• Avoid usage of your clothes dryer. Instead, hang clothes to dry outside or use an indoor clothes rack.
• Use less lighting. Use natural lighting where possible, and replace older lighting with LED lights.
• Reduce the use of air conditioning by opening the windows at night-time to let the house cool down, then closing them each morning to keep hot air out.
• Close the doors to rooms that you aren't using, so you only heat or cool a smaller space.
• Prevent the sun from over-heating your home by closing blinds and curtains in rooms into which the hot sun directly shines in.
