The electricity market in Australia has been undergoing a gradual deregulation process since the late 1990s. The first stage of deregulation was the establishing of a national electricity network {{citymarketintro4}} in one state to be sold in a different state.
The next stage, which happened sooner in some states, was the splitting up of the state owned electricity monopolies into competing entities and then privatising them. In an attempt to create greater competition the energy market was separated into two types of entities
- Energy Distributors
Distributors have the responsibility for the actual delivery of electricity to customers' premises . They own and manage the poles and powerlines, and don't engage directly with customers. - Energy Retailers The electricity retailers have all the interactions with the customer. They sell the electricity and issue bills. The states have between one and three distributors, and up to 30 retailers.
The electricity market in Victoria was completely deregulated on 1 July 2008 . This meant that consumers could, for the first time, change to another provider who offered the cheapest electricity prices.

Tips for how to use less electricity to save on your bills
Here is a list of easily implemented ways for reducing household expenditure on electricity
- Turn all your appliances off at the power point when you're not using them.
- Wear clothing that is appropriate for the weather, rather than turn on the heater, (booties, warm socks, jumper, beanie).
- A cheap alternative to an electric blanket is a hot water bottle.
- Don't use the clothes dryer as frequently. Hang the clothes to dry outside or use an indoor clothes rack.
- Eliminate draughts. Stop hot or cold air getting in or out through the gaps under doors and around your windows through the use of door snakes and gap seal tape.
- Use less air conditioning by opening windows at night to let the cool air in, and then shutting them each morning thus keeping hot air out.
- Stop the hot sun over-heating your home by closing the curtains and blinds in the rooms that the hot sun shines directly into.
- Close doors to areas of your home that aren't in use, so that you just cool or heat a smaller space.
- Reduce the use of lights through the use of as much natural light as possible. Turn the lights off if there's no none in the room.
