Distributors are responsible for the delivery of electricity to customers' premises , and they own and maintain the poles and powerlines, and do not deal with customers.

The retailers have all the interactions with the customer. They sell the electricity and are responsible for billing. States have from 1 to 3 distributors but up to thirty retailers.

The Sydney market was completely deregulated in July 2014 . This meant that customers could, for the first time, switch to another provider who had the cheapest electricity prices.

Tips for reducing your electricity consumption to save money

Here are a few easily implemented ways to reduce how much you spend on electricity

• Eliminate draughts. Stop cold air or hot air entering or escaping through gaps under doors and around your windows by using gap seal tape and door snakes.
• Rather than turn on the heater, wear clothing that's appropriate for cold weather (booties, beanie, warm socks, jumper).
• Reduce use of your clothes dryer. Instead, hang clothes to dry outside or alternatively, use an indoor clothing rack.
• Turn all appliances off at the power point when they're not in use.
• A cheap alternative to an electric blanket is a hot water bottle.
• Prevent the sun over-heating your house by closing the blinds and curtains in rooms that are exposed to the heat of direct sunlight.
• Minimise the use of air conditioning by opening the windows during the night to let the cooler air in, and then closing them each morning to keep hot air out.
• Close the doors of rooms that you aren't using, so you only heat or cool a smaller area.
• Reduce your use of lights. Use natural lighting where possible.
