Australia's electricity market has been undergoing a process of deregulation since the late 1990s. The first step involved establishing a national electricity network {{citymarketintro4}} in one state to be delivered to customers in a different state.
Another stage, which occurred earlier in some states, was the breaking up of state owned monopolies into multiple competing entities and then privatising them. In an attempt to stimulate a greater amount of competition the market was split into two levels
- Energy Distributors
Distributors are responsible for the physical delivery of electricity to the customers' premises . They own and maintain the powerlines and poles, and do not deal with customers. - Energy Retailers Retailers have all the interactions with the customer. They sell the electricity and are responsible for billing. Each state has from one to three distributors but up to 30 retailers.
On 1 July 2008 , the Victoria market was completely deregulated. This allowed customers to change to whichever provider had cheaper prices.
Electricity in Victoria is supplied by the following five distributors
- United Energy Distribution
United Energy distributes electricity in the southern suburbs of Melbourne and in the Mornington Peninsula. - Ausnet Services
AusNet Services provides electricity to the eastern outer & northern suburbs of Melbourne and to eastern Victoria. - Powercor Australia
Powercor delivers electricity to the western Victoria and western suburbs of Melbourne. - Jemena
Jemena distributes electricity in the south-western and northern suburbs of Melbourne. - Citipower
Citipower distributes electricity in Melbourne City and inner suburbs.
Tips for reducing your electricity usage to save money
Here are some easy to implement tips for reducing how much you spend on electricity
- Eliminate draughts. Prevent cold air or hot air blowing in or leaving via gaps under doors or around windows by using door snakes and gap seal tape.
- Minimise use of your clothes dryer. Dry the clothes outside or alternatively, use an indoor clothing rack.
- A cheap alternative to an electric blanket is a hot water bottle.
- Turn all appliances off at the power socket when they're not in use.
- Rather than turn on the heater, wear warm clothing (jumper, booties, beanie, warm socks).
- Close the doors to areas of the house that you aren't using, so that you only have to heat or cool a smaller area.
- Reduce air conditioning use by opening the windows at night to allow the cool air in, and closing them in the morning thus keeping hot air out.
- Use less lighting by using natural light where possible and replace older lights with energy efficient LED lights.
- Prevent the sun over-heating rooms by closing blinds and curtains in the rooms into which the hot sun directly shines in.
