The electricity market in Australia's Eastern and Southern states has been undergoing a gradual deregulation process since the late 1990s. The first stage involved establishing a national electricity network {{citymarketintro4}} in one state to be sold to customers in a different state.
The next stage, which happened earlier in some states than others, was the splitting up of the state owned monopolies into multiple competing entities and then privatising them. In an attempt to promote greater competition the energy market was split into two levels
- Energy
Distributors
The distributors look after the actual delivery of electricity to customers' premises . They own and manage the powerlines and poles, and do not deal with customers. - Energy Retailers The electricity retailers are the ones who sell electricity to customers and are responsible for billing. Every state has from one to three distributors but up to 30 retailers.
The electricity market in South East Queensland was fully deregulated on 1 July 2016 . This allowed consumers to change to a provider who offered the cheapest electricity prices.
There are two electricity distributors in Queensland
- Energex
Energex distributes electricity to an area covering about 25,000 square kilometres in South East Queensland, that stretches from the NSW border in the south to Gympie in the north. This includes the major population areas of Brisbane, the Gold and Sunshine Coasts, Ipswich, Redlands, Logan and Moreton Bay. - Ergon Energy
The Ergon Energy network services rural and coastal areas of Queensland as well as the remote communities of outback Queensland and the Torres Strait.
Tips for using less energy to save money
Here are a few easy to implement tips for reducing your expenditure on energy
- A cheap alternative to an electric blanket is a hot water bottle.
- Rather than turn on the heater, put on warmer clothing (warm socks, booties, jumper, beanie).
- Minimise draughts. Stop hot or cold air getting in or getting out through gaps under doors or around windows through the use of gap seal tape and door snakes.
- Turn off appliances at the power point when you're not using them.
- Minimise usage of your clothes dryer. Instead, hang your clothes to dry outside or use an indoor clothes rack.
- Minimise lighting by using natural light where possible.
- Use less air conditioning by opening windows at night to let the house cool down, and shutting them in the morning thus keeping the hot air out.
- Prevent the hot sun from over-heating your home by closing curtains and blinds in the rooms into which the hot sun directly shines in.
- Close doors to areas of the house that you aren't using, so that you only heat or cool a smaller space.
