The Australian electricity market has been undergoing a gradual deregulation process which began in the late 1990s. The first step was the establishing of a national electricity network {{citymarketintro4}} in one state to be delivered to customers in different states.
The next step, which happened earlier in some states, was the dividing up of state owned monopolies into competing entities and then privatising them. In an attempt to produce greater competition the market was divided into two types of entities
- Energy Distributors
Distributors look after the delivery of electricity to customers' premises . They own and maintain the powerlines and poles, and don't engage directly with customers. - Energy Retailers The retailers do all the interacting with the customer. They sell the electricity and are responsible for billing. Each state has between one and three distributors, and up to 30 retailers.
On 1 July 2016 , the electricity market in South East Queensland was fully deregulated. This meant that, for the first time, customers could change to another provider that had the cheapest electricity prices.
Two distributors supply electricity to Queensland
- Energex
Energex supplies electricity to an area covering about 25,000 square kilometres in South East Queensland, which stretches from the NSW border to Gympie in the north. This covers the major population areas of Brisbane, Logan, Ipswich, the Gold and Sunshine Coasts, Redlands and Moreton Bay. - Ergon Energy
Ergon Energy distributes electricity to coastal and rural areas of Queensland as well as the remote communities of outback Queensland and the Torres Strait.
Tips to reduce your electricity consumption to save on your bills
Here is a list of easy to implement ways for reducing your expenditure on electricity
- Put on warmer clothing, instead of turning on the heater (booties, jumper, warm socks, beanie).
- A cheap alternative to an electric blanket is a hot water bottle.
- Turn appliances off at the power point when they're not in use.
- Minimise draughts. Stop hot or cold air entering or escaping through the gaps under doors or around your windows by using door snakes and gap seal tape.
- Don't use your clothes dryer as often. Instead, hang the clothes to dry outside or alternatively, use an indoor clothing rack.
- Prevent the hot sun over-heating your house by closing blinds and curtains in the rooms that are exposed to the heat of direct sunlight.
- Minimise air conditioning use by opening windows at night to let the cooler air in, then closing them each morning thus keeping the hot air out.
- Use less lighting through the use of as much natural light as possible and replace older lighting with LED lights.
- Close doors of rooms that aren't in use, so that you only heat or cool a smaller area.
