The electricity market in Australia has been undergoing a deregulation that began in the late 1990s. The first stage of deregulation was to establish a national grid {{citymarketintro4}} in one state to be sold in a different state.
The next step, which happened sooner in some states than others, was the dividing up of the state owned electricity monopolies into several competing entities, then privatising them. In an attempt to create better competition the energy market was split into two types of entities
- Energy Distributors
The distributors have the responsibility for the delivery of electricity to customers' premises . They own and manage the poles and powerlines, but do not deal directly with customers. - Energy Retailers The retailers sell the electricity to the customers and are responsible for billing. The states have between one and three distributors but up to thirty retailers.
NSW 's electricity market was completely deregulated on 1 July 2014 . This meant that consumers could now switch to the provider that had the cheapest electricity prices.
Electricity in NSW is supplied by three distributors
- Ausgrid
Ausgrid supplies energy to inner, eastern and northern metropolitan Sydney and north to the Hunter region and Newcastle. - Endeavour Energy
Endeavour Energy supplies electricity to 2.4 million people in households and businesses throughout Sydney's Greater West, the Southern Highlands and Blue Mountains. - Essential Energy
Essential Energy distributes electricity country and regional NSW, and also throughout southern regional QLD.
Tips to lower your electricity consumption to save on your bills
Here are a few easy to implement ways to reduce how much electricity you use
- Reduce draughts. Minimise hot or cold air getting in or out through gaps under doors or around your windows through the use of door snakes and gap seal tape.
- Rather than turn on the heater, dress for the weather (beanie, warm socks, jumper, booties).
- Use a hot water bottle as a cheap alternative to an electric blanket.
- Turn off all your appliances at the power point when they're not in use.
- Avoid use of your clothes dryer. Dry clothes outside or use an indoor clothes rack.
- Reduce air conditioning use by opening the windows during the night to allow the cool air in, and shutting them each morning to keep the hot air out.
- Reduce the use of lights. Use natural light more often.
- Close doors to areas of your home that you don't use, so you only have to cool or heat a smaller space.
- Stop the hot sun from over-heating your house by closing the curtains and blinds in the rooms where the sun shines in.
