The electricity market in Australia's Eastern and Southern states has been gradually deregulating which began in the late 1990s. The first step was to establish a national grid {{citymarketintro4}} in one state to be delivered to customers in a different state.
The next stage, which occurred earlier in some states, was the splitting up of state owned monopolies into several competing entities, then privatising them. In an attempt to promote more competition the market was separated into two levels
- Energy Distributors
Distributors are responsible for the actual delivery of electricity to customers' premises . They own and maintain the powerlines and poles, but do not deal directly with customers. - Energy Retailers The electricity retailers have all the interactions with the customer. They sell the electricity and are responsible for billing. Each state has between one and three distributors but up to thirty retailers.
NSW 's energy market was fully deregulated on 1 July 2014 . This meant that customers could switch to another provider that offered the cheapest electricity prices.
Electricity in NSW is supplied by the following three distributors
- Ausgrid
Ausgrid's network supplies electricity to eastern, northern and inner metropolitan Sydney and north to Newcastle and the Hunter region. - Essential Energy
Essential Energy distributes electricity regional and country NSW, and also in southern regional QLD. - Endeavour Energy
Endeavour Energy's network provides electricity to 2.4 million people in households and businesses across the Southern Highlands, Blue Mountains and Sydney's Greater West.
Tips to lower electricity consumption and lower your bills
Here are a few easily implemented tips to reduce your electricity consumption
- Turn all appliances off at the power point when you're not using them.
- Instead of turning on the heater, wear warmer clothing (warm socks, beanie, booties, jumper).
- Reduce draughts. Minimise cold air or hot air getting in or getting out through gaps under doors and around windows by using door snakes and gap seal tape.
- Avoid use of the clothes dryer. Hang your clothes to dry outside or use an indoor clothes rack.
- A cheap alternative to an electric blanket is a hot water bottle.
- Use less lighting. Use natural light more often. Turn the lights off when you leave the room.
- Close the doors to areas of the house that you don't use, so you only cool or heat a smaller space.
- Minimise air conditioning use by opening your windows in the evening allow the house cool down, and then closing them in the morning to keep the hot air out.
- Prevent the sun over-heating your home by closing blinds and curtains in the rooms where the sun shines in.
