Electricity Market Deregulation and Competition in Brisbane

Since the late 1990s the electricity market in Australia has been undergoing a gradual deregulation process. The first stage was to establish an intra-state electricity network which enabled electricity produced in one state to be sold to customers in a different state.

The next stage, which happened sooner in some states, was the splitting up of the state owned monopolies into several competing entities, then privatising them. In order to create greater competition the energy market was separated into two levels

Distributors have the responsibility for the actual delivery of electricity to customers' premises . They own and manage the powerlines and poles, but do not deal directly with customers.

The electricity retailers have all the interactions with the customer. They sell the electricity and issue bills. Every state has between one and three distributors but up to thirty retailers.

The market in Brisbane was completely deregulated in July 2016 . This meant that consumers could switch to another provider who offered the cheapest electricity prices.

Tips to lower your electricity consumption and lower your bills

Here is a list of easily implemented tips to reduce how much electricity you use

• Eliminate draughts. Stop hot or cold air getting in or out through the gaps under doors and around windows through the use of gap seal tape and door snakes.
• Turn all your appliances off at the power point when you're not using them.
• A cheap alternative to an electric blanket is a hot water bottle.
• Instead of turning on the heater, wear warm clothing (booties, warm socks, jumper, beanie).
• Avoid usage of the clothes dryer. Hang the clothes to dry outside or use an indoor clothes rack.
• Use less air conditioning by opening windows at night to let the cool air in, and then shutting them in the morning to keep hot air out.
• Stop the hot sun over-heating your home by closing curtains and blinds in the rooms where the sun shines in.
• Close doors to areas of the house that you don't use, so that you just cool or heat a smaller space.
• Minimise lighting. Use natural light more often, and replace older lights with LED lights.
