Electricity Market Deregulation and Competition in Adelaide

Since the late 1990s the electricity market in Australia's Eastern and Southern states has been undergoing a gradual deregulation process. The first stage of deregulation was the establishing of an intra-state electricity grid that enabled electricity produced in one state to be sold in a different state.

The next stage, which happened earlier in some states than others, was the splitting up of the state owned electricity monopolies into competing entities and then privatising them. In order to promote greater competition the energy market was separated into two types of entities

The distributors look after the actual delivery of electricity to customers' premises . They own and manage the poles and powerlines, and don't engage directly with customers.

The electricity retailers are the ones who sell electricity to customers and are responsible for billing. The states have between one and three distributors, and up to 30 retailers.

In July 2013, Adelaide's energy market was fully deregulated. This meant that consumers could, for the first time, change to a provider who offered the cheapest electricity prices.

Tips for how to use less electricity to save on your bills

Here is a list of easily implemented ways for reducing how much you spend on electricity

• A cheap alternative to an electric blanket is a hot water bottle.
• Don't use the clothes dryer as frequently. Instead, hang your clothes to dry outside or use an indoor clothes rack.
• Turn off appliances at the power point when you're not using them.
• Wear clothing that is appropriate for the weather, rather than turn on the heater, (warm socks, booties, jumper, beanie).
• Minimise draughts. Stop hot or cold air getting in or getting out through the gaps under doors and around your windows through the use of door snakes and gap seal tape.
• Reduce the use of lights through the use of as much natural light as possible. Turn the lights off if there's no none in the room.
• Use less air conditioning by opening windows at night to let the house cool down, and then shutting them each morning thus keeping hot air out.
• Prevent the hot sun from over-heating your home by closing the curtains and blinds in the rooms that the hot sun shines directly into.
• Close doors to areas of your home that aren't in use, so that you only heat or cool a smaller space.
