Electricity Market Competition in SA

The Australian electricity market has been undergoing a gradual deregulation process since the late 1990s. The first step of deregulation was the establishing of a national grid {{citymarketintro4}} in one state to be delivered in another state.

The next step, which happened earlier in some states, was the dividing up of state owned electricity monopolies into competing entities, then privatising them. In an attempt to produce greater competition the market was separated into two types of entities

• Energy Distributors
  Distributors look after the delivery of electricity to customers' premises , and they own and maintain the poles and powerlines, and do not deal with customers.
• Energy Retailers The retailers do all the interacting with the customer. They sell the electricity and are responsible for billing. States have from 1 to 3 distributors but up to thirty retailers.

On 1 July 2013 , the electricity market in South Australia was fully deregulated. This meant that customers could, for the first time, switch to another provider that had the cheapest electricity prices.

Tips for reducing your electricity consumption to save money

Here are a few easily implemented ways to reduce your electricity consumption

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