Australia's electricity market has been undergoing a deregulation process since the late 1990s. The first step of deregulation was the establishing of a national electricity network {{citymarketintro4}} in one state to be delivered to a different state.
Another stage, which happened earlier in some states, was the breaking up of state owned electricity monopolies into competing entities and then privatising them. In an attempt to stimulate a greater degree of competition the market was separated into two types of entities
- Energy
Distributors
Distributors look after the physical delivery of electricity to the customers' premises . They own and maintain the poles and powerlines, and don't engage directly with customers. - Energy Retailers Retailers do all the interacting with the customer. They sell the electricity and are responsible for billing. States have between one and three distributors, and up to 30 retailers.
On 1 July 2013 , the South Australia electricity market was completely deregulated. This meant that customers could, for the first time, change to another provider who had cheaper electricity prices.
South Australia has just one main electricity distributor
- SA Power Networks
SA Power Networks supplies electricity in South Australia - Note, electricity in a some remote areas of SA is distributed by other companies.
Tips for reducing your energy usage to save on your bills
Here are a few easily implemented ways for reducing your expenditure on energy
- A cheap alternative to an electric blanket is a hot water bottle.
- Don't use the clothes dryer as often. Dry your clothes outside or alternatively, use an indoor clothing rack.
- Dress for cold weather, rather than turn on the heater, (jumper, beanie, booties, warm socks).
- Minimise draughts. Prevent hot or cold air blowing in or leaving through gaps under doors and around your windows by using gap seal tape and door snakes.
- Turn appliances off at the power socket when they're not in use.
- Close the doors to areas of your home that aren't in use, so that you only have to cool or heat a smaller area.
- Minimise the use of air conditioning by opening windows in the evening let the cool air in, and then closing them each morning thus keeping the hot air out.
- Prevent the hot sun over-heating rooms by closing the blinds and curtains in the rooms that the hot sun shines directly into.
- Reduce your use of lights through the use of as much natural light as possible.
